I had gas leaking out onto my motor while my carb was off. I went back to finish work on the quad, 2 days later and when I came back the motor had like a rubbery gasket type material on it but it was falling off. I had noticed the stuff before, but the gas kinda took it right off. Was this excessive gasket or was it a homemade foam gasket. I was just wondering if I'm going to leak oil now or not. So the questioin is does gas leaking onto the motor cover ruin the gasket.

no on some engines they use something called yama glue it is its own gasket and it is probly just extra sealent from it that leaked out the side of the head
