Mkay thanks, Heres a pic of the springs. Is this why my pipes leaking?


No guarantees but that spring on the left is definite NOT an exhaust spring and much too weak. You did the right thing by ordering proper springs.

Braap,
If the "O" rings are fresh, you shouldn't need and RTV sealant. The o ring won't melt, but they tend to go hard after a while and lose their sealing quality.
The goop that's leaking out of your header pipe isn't caused by poor sealing at the cylinder, it's caused by overly rich jetting.
Put on fresh springs and "o" rings, get your jetting right and your problems will be cured for good.

Well, When i pulled the pipe off i don't believe any O-rings in were in there. But they will be in there soon enough. And i wasn't gunna use RTV on the around where the pipe connects to the motor. I was gunna use some for where the pipe connects to the silencer. As for the jetting, Yes i know its too rich. But I don't have the time to jet it myself right now. And being as I have never done it before it would probably take forever. I wonder if there was someone in my area who could do it for me?
