Got grease seeping from the middle joint where the motor is sandwiched together, also that gasket is slipping out yet the screws are super tight. Anyone ever used JB Weld to fix such a problem? Thanks

Funny, you are the second guy in about 5 minutes with the same problem, and asking about using JB Weld to fix it.
I would clean it thoroughly, remove any loose material, and then seal it with silicone, letting it cure for 24 hours before riding it.
So forget about it? If I lose a pea size grease ball each time I ride it that seems like I'd be running low sooner of later.
I wouldn't worry about it, they are greasy grubby things these little two strokes.
After a while the whole thing will resemble a grease ball, with crap oozing from every orifice.
First you got your leaking fuel mix messing up all over the place, then black crap dripping from the exhaust then the greasy crap from the cases, it all mixes together, then its a perfect match.
Unless you got the time to strip it down and rebuild it with proper assembly methods that is...

One thing that hasn't been mentioned here is, if there is oil comming out of the case, then there's most likely air going into the case!!! Air leaks are bad!!!
Applying JB over the seam where the gasket's bad isn't a crazy idea... It should work well, but it will look a little cheesy!
