Leaking Nitro Engine

[nathanstl]

Ok I have a Nitro Evader Buggy and it has the OS .18 engine in it. So far it's been running great(about a half gallon into it). It never stalls and always starts within the first few pulls. Now I did notice a few days ago that my exhaust pipe was very loose , so I tightened it up. Now though whenever I run the bottom of the pull start and the whole lower half of the engine on the exhaust outlet side is soaked with nitro. It isn't affecting performance, but where is it coming from? Will it hurt the engine? How do I stop it? I have been told to use RTV Silicone Gasket maker, but then I read in my manual not to because it releases acetic acid when curing which I guess is corrosive. Please help!
