Definetly more than I like to see, some will come out the exhaust port, but it looks as though you have a leak, or your carb bowls are getting flooded, and its leaking through the midsection.

Its definately a 2 stroke oil, so you either have a leak from your fuel/oil pump area, or your carb bowls are flooding out, do you have a sealed cover over your carbs?
