I have been driving my Pinz pretty hard lateley, now I am starting to a little oil, and seeing it leak from my exhaust only a few drops after 30 min of idle.

Does any one have any suggestions before I fork over a handful of money and take my truck down for a few weeks.

Also does any Fl or near by Pinz owners, have a carb synch tool I can bum for a few hours?

Thanks

Probably your valve stem seals are getting old and leaking a little. On the other hand, who runs a vehicle 30 minutes in idle, except he has not to pay for the fuel?
And one more thing: Are you shure, it is oil and not collected ashes mixed with water? This stuff also looks like burned black oil.

Have you checked the engine compression? If it is oil, it is most likely either worn rings or valve seals as Wolf suggested above.
