Default Re: Head Gasket

Now that I have the intake housing off I can see the ends of the cranks and the counter weights. They have a light coating of rust. I'm new to 2 cycles and expected the cranks etc to be coated with oil. They look dry to me but I know the engine was getting oil because the cylinders are coated. Could the blown head gasket have allowed water into the crankcase and caused the rust? I'm going to open the crankcase sometime this week. What should I be looking for?

thanks
