HELP!! 125 gio oil leaking out of exhaust.

thewizard · 03-22-2012, 06:45 PM

i have a 125cc gio, i bought it used 3 yrs ago, worked great the first summer put it away for winter and then in the spring i went to start it up and oil was leaking out of the exhaust with thick/heavy white smoke. it will run and stay running but oil keeps coming out.
could this be the piston rings have gone bad???
any help would be greatly aappreciated.

Is the oil overfilled? Did the carb leak gas and flood the crankcase?

Welcome!

Those are excellent tips. Make sure the fuel valve is shut off, drain the oil and fill the engine with fresh oil to the dipstick mark. Let us know if the problem persists.

Sometimes after sitting the needle valve will start leaking. The gas from the tank runs through the carb past the open intake valve and the past the rings into the crankcase.
