Most oil leaks are very simple to repair. There is one leak however that you must watch out for and that's the "leak of death". The leak of death will show up on the top of the no 1 rotor housing. If you see oil on top of the motor then it could have this dreaded leak. Do a search on the forum for more specific info. Check out the 1st gen FAQ, there is some more info in there about oil leaks.

Good luck!
