Nitro leaks by the crank

[Basher_around_town]

Since it's beginning to warm, I thought to work on my T-Maxx after winter storage. from the times I did run it, I noticed fuel leaks where the cranks spin and make a mess in the shell, and really annoying, is this normal or something to be concerned about since I never encountered this? The engine is a TRX 3.3.

Too much leakage is not good ,but just a little bit is common an not to worry about!
It leaking an saturating everything than the bearings or at least the front bearing needs
to be replaced!..

I second this.
All my cars leak, and there is always a bit of oil which is flung to the sides, which I clean after each run.
I am talking about front bearing, if that's what you mean.
as @cbaker65 said, if you have a puddle of oil on the chassis then its a a problem.

In fact, after each run, on m TRX 3.3's I usually insert a small paper tissue in between the crank case and flywheel, in order to soak up any oil that might still be leaking a bit.

It's front bearing. It can cause inconsistent tune due to leak
