Pro4 leaking oil

[live4chrome]

I just put new oil in my pro 4 lite. Never had it leak a drop of oil before and It leaked most of it in my jeep on the way to the lake from what looks like the carb? Anyone know what the problem may be? And how to fix?

It must have been laying on its side, the spark plug has to be pointing up.

Even when I had it on its side before it never used to matter. I had it on the handle and it was even leaking

There is nothing but the piston rings holding the oil in the crank case. When you set it on its side it simply leaks past the rings. There is nothing wrong, you just cant set a 4 stroke on its side.

Well apparently I'm an one-who-thinks-I-am-silly... Hopefully it won't continue to leak

There isn't a designated side to put them on? Just asking...don't own one but my 4 stroke boat motor has a designated side.

Same with my strike lite. As far as I know, the Honda lite is the only one with a sealed crankcase that eliminates the need to lay it down with the plug up.

For some reason I thought it was to lay with the black dipstick plug up.

Where the heck is the spark plug on this thing anyways, am I blind?
