051 pours out bar oil

[Learnin 2 Mill]

Hi all,
I'm just looking for a couple of suggestions before I start tearing my saw apart. First, let me say that I'm new to working on small engines, but am trying to learn. Anywho, I have an 051 that the bar oil pretty much just pours out of. I'm not due if the oiler itself is even working, because before I could get it started there was already a pool of oil under the saw. I have the ipl, but am just looking for a bit of guidance. Thanks in advance for any and all wisdom imparted.

I’d take the bar off and see if I could first figure out where the oil is coming from. A hole / oil pump. That’s a start. I know nothing whatsoever about stihl saws

Dump out the oil and refill with gas mix, it will pour out much, more, better......
