What causes the Oil Leak???<<<----------
Please help! I haven't rode in 3 months, took a while to start up, I changed the oil and gas, now I have a leak under where the exhaust pipe connects to the cylinder and TONS on white smoke comes out? When I checked out oil levels again, it was basically empty! Any advice would be great thanks!

Looks like an air cooled 4 stroke. Lot of smoke is an indication of oil being burned in the combustion chamber. The # ONE cause I've seen is over filling the crank case with oil.
Double check the procedure and make sure the oil level is correct. |

It actually blew up, I found the piston and cylinder thrashed. I replaced the whole top end, piston, rings, top and bottom cylinder. My oil level is always good, even checked the valves with clearance. I'm lost, will check rings again...
