2002 cr250 crank seal leak

[stephen99]

well i had suspicion i had an air leak. i had a surging idle when i stopped after bieng in high rpm range. so i took my mag cover off and the bottom had a buncha gas smelling oily stuff. i would assume the seal is gone. could this be responseable for my long reving hanging idle. thanks
