i have a air leak in the bearing behind the flywheel and i have already replaced it once and i dont know what else to do any ideas
 
Just noticed mine leaks there as well. I can't get it to stay running no matter what needle setting I try. So I tore it down to see if the spring was still on the new clutch shoes I just put in. Sprayed wd40 in the glowplug and carb areas just to keep lubed. Notice it leaking out just behind the flywheel underneath.

Guess it's toast? Never once held a tune since I got it new.
 
My 3.3 just died to overheating due to air leak. And guess what, it leaked from the front bearing.

Extra lame lol. Seems to be a common problem?
