Just wondering if anyone can help diagnose a issue which I noticed the other day. I haven't been able to ride the sled yet this year due to the absolute miserable weather conditions in and around Syracuse 
But I have had the luxery of starting it and letting it run in the shed when I get up there on the weekends
woohoo, lots of fun there!
Anyway, while letting it warm up last weekend, I noticed that the powervalves, all three, were leaking fluid from right around the seals. (unburnt fuel?). Anyway, after running it for about 3-5 minutes, the leak stopped on all seals. I was thinking that the seals may have had to just been warmed up to expand and close the gap where the liquid was coming out, but I wanted to check to see if it may be a bigger problem.
I won't be able to get back to checking on the issue till this weekend when I'm back home for a few days.
Thanks

powervalve bodies have drain holes on the bottom.they will drain excess oil/gas mixture that is unburnt

Mine did the same thing when pulled it out of storage. Once you give it a good long run it will burn off and it should not come back till next fall.

just the o-rings not sealing tightly until they warm up and expand, making a better seal.
