[F500] Crank Shaft

[dtm]

that leak can turn into a big leak real quick, it should be replaced asap
leaky seals WILL most likely lean out the air fuel fixture and increase
cylinder temp to melting point especially if your already riding the red
line on your egt's, i found this out the hard way even though i knew better
i only noticed the slight amount of leakage a few minutes before a race,
least to say the piston melted on the first straight, play it safe
