So I took the bar off, cleained it and all the oil orifaces. Ran the saw with the bar off. No oil coming from the oil port but it is leaking out from somewhere around the motor.
I've never taken a chainsaw apart further than the bar and chain. This is a McCulloch. Are the gas and oil tanks built in to the housing as in the actual housing or are there self contained tanks inside the housing? Wondering if I need to drain everything before taking it apart.
Hoping someone has encountered this before. I'm guessing that maybe there's a line from the tank or something that is disconnected or broken. Hopefully it isn't something that built into the housing and has cracked. The saw runs great, starts first or second pull. I've cut many trees with it and it's served me well...
I did some googling last night and found some ideas but no answers.
I'll likely do as everything else, dive in, take it apart and look for something that seems wrong. I'm thinking I'll find a broken or disconnected line. Hopefully not something like a cracked case or something. Didn't drop the saw or anything so I'd be surprised to see structural damage or problems. I'd assume there is a self contained tank inside the case but who knows. One thread I found said the tanks can develope leaks...
Thanks for any/all help, ideas and suggestions.
