when i take my pipe off should there be fluid come out of the end that attaches to the motor and i dont mean just a little its about 1 1/2 bottle caps thanks
 
There's always a little in the pipe after running but the amount you have is kind of heavy. Sounds like you're running too rich. When the engine is running put your hand next to the exhaust hole. If it's spitting fuel at you you're running too rich. Try leaning out your engine a bit and, as long as you have a good smoke trail throughout the RPM range and your temps are reasonable for your mill, you should be good to go.

What kind of car & engine? Some exhaust designs get backpressure from the fuel tank when stopping the engine which can push fuel through your exhaust tube and into the pipe. I know my Losi XXX-NT does this a lot. That could be another possibility.
 
That actually it a good bit of oil to come out of there....what are you temps looking like when you are good and warmed up? Like Amoeba said my try leaning it our a bit and keep an eye on your temps.
 
I'm pretty new to this hobby so i dont have a temp gauge yet but i dont think it running to hot. i posted another forum asking about air leak in my bearing behind my flywheel and trying to fix it and doing every thing i can i may have richened it up a little to much. so i just need to find out how to fix my leak
 
You said you replaced the bearing? How old is this engine Mike? I have only had to do that a couple times and once I messed up and ruined the block. I was not watching what I was doing and the bearing went in crooked and...woo hoo big arse gouge. Huge leak and time for a new block...sigh. The way it goes...
 
i got the jato used so i dont know how old it is but when i found the first leak it was coming from the center of the shaft and when i replaced it. the leak is coming from the same spot
 
Is it really normal for a car to drip some fluid out of the tail pipe when first started? There's a fluid dripping from my exhaust tail pipe and I just can't determine what causes it to act this way.
