084 oiling problem

[mxracer]

hello all chainsaw wiz guys, i've done a couple of searches on here for my problem and i think it is a one of a kind problem. the other day i was cutting up a rather large tree when i noticed that there was no bar oil comming out.
i turned the saw over and noticed that around the oil adj. screw alot of oil was running out , but none out of the oil hole behind the bar when i took it off
would a sawdust block cause this or do i have a bigger problem? any help will be appreciated.

It's likely that your oil hose has a hole in it. Take off the clutch drum, side covers and maybe also your clutch - you can then see it..

just a hint -if you havn't already done it, they are a pita to change on an 084... Get the Stihl oil hose kit, and a teflon lubricant.
