Revo 2.5 engines blows oil everywhere.

My revo 2.5 always has oil over the rear shocks, all over the cooling fin, and coming out of the muffler. What is wrong with the motor? Also it overheats often and will require a cool down before it wants to restart. It is tuned properly and goes fast when its not too hot but the oil thing cannot be normal. This is my first nitro, I bought it used, I do not know the history. Thanks.

imo the tuning is way off, u said it blows nitro all over the place but yet its over heating, i would say put the carb back to factory settings and re-tune from there

it was a bad header seal. Still runs too hot though.
