I have the HPI firestorm, the engine is leaking fuel and buring up the glow plug. can't tell where the leak is coming from, and ideas on what to do?

Take it apart, seal it, replace the bearings.
 
Check your cooling head bolts. Sometimes they rattle loose and cause leaks which blows plugs pretty quickly. If any are loose, loosen them all then gently tighten them down, then tighten them 1/2 turn or so at a time in a star pattern to get the head to tighten down even.
