    Oil coming from were the muffler meets the header??

    It's a 200s motor, Its a 4 stroke so why am I getting oil leaking from exhaust? Where do I start to diagnose the problem?

    Sounds like a blown gasket. Definitely a problem that needs to be fixed before you do any more riding.

    Probably a valve seal. Does it smoke when you first start it then clear up?

    Lol... You ain't lying... No kidding, now with the amount of money I dumped into this thing what should I do next, do I go ahead and try to fix it on my own, do I pay to have it fixed, I really don't even know who I could trust to do the job obviously not the last guy who did it lol.. Do I look for a new motor on Craigslist or eBay and run into the same problems later on down the line.. How hard will this job be for me to fix considering I never did anything like this before? What's my next move

    Get a manual. Plenty here have posted free ones. Depending how bad it smokes and if it clears up after a while you could just run it. If your not comfortable doing the work id take it somewhere.

    Imo it's better for honda engines to put a little more oil in them

    Is it a 200x frame with a 200s engine?

    Yes it's an autox.... I gave this thing at least 50 hours trying to get it perfect and this is like a real road block for me I've never torn into an engine before, but I guess there's a first time for everything.. I'm just real skeptical and nervous.. The most I was in the engine was the timing

    I don't know.. I thought so.. But the hose coming off my engine, I noticed there was exhaust coming from it so I wouldn't doubt if something was on wrong.. Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this.. I can check ND take pics when I get home today
