You won't see it fall in until the engine stops and leans out. I have had it happen once and I learned the hard way. A new engine. The carb had crap and junk blocking it. I cleaned it out but too late. Now I only run fuel filters and.If crap gets stuck in the filter the engine will just shut off and I clean it and back to good again. A save guard is better than a buying new engine. They don't leak if tightened. I have been running them for 30 yrs. now.
Break-in fuel is just another gimmick to get you to buy. I run fuel with 18% oil lube in all my engines. 14-18% oil lube is all you need. Race blend has less oil for racing and should not be used for backyard bashing.
Not here to to Argue, but I race offroad and my first race car was a Revo, back when MT was a class. and off road is dusty and re-fuel is a must for long mains.. So yes I have refuelled outside for years and have my engines run a long time... the topic is about a Revo and they have a filter in the tank.
As for race fuel not having enough oil for break in.. this has been proven to be a myth, as again, we break our engines in with the same fuel we race with.. this was before EBIS and some of us still break our engines in that way...
now back to the topic at hand. you need to take you engine out out and have a good look at it. I believe you have a leak some where. and also get the hanger exhaust . have a look at the head make sure it is not cracked. make sure the head is tighten down properly, but I will say if all that oil is come from ez start you may have a leaky one way bearing which was always a problem these cars. if you having problems on a new vehicle, you can send the engine back to Traxxas for a look. they may send you a new one.
but your clutch needs attending to first and for most then the leak
good luck
