Default Re: engine leak?

I don't thnk it leaks. My humble idea would be what's in, what's out. I hope it was just residue of caster oil not really some gunk.

By the way, I run my engine around that temp, as well.

best,

while tunning my engine today my car had lots of power and was running at 230F (I am in FLA)

however when I began to clean it and do the AR procedure I noticed that there was a little bit of fuel residue, similar to what accumulates on the side of the body where the exhaust comes out, around the bottom of the high speed needle seat right were it screws onto the carb. Does this mean there is a leak? or could it just be from the fact the car was rich at first?

I dont want to mess up this engine.
BTW, it is a NS3 running 20% o'donel


Thanks !
