husqvarna 435 chainsaw not getting bar oil

i posted this to waste of time answer army :

my 435 chainsaw is not getting oil to the bar.
Details:

I scratched my head ,looked, cleaned etc etc started stopped etc etc see oil is coming from the pump.

HOWEVER i notice the drive link tangs are all the way at the top of the bar holes!!! how is the oil getting to the bar?? after falling along the inside facing part of the bar it just makes a mess/ hazard coating the brake with oil.

this is a bar engineer/quality issue!!

my question is , should the drive link tangs be visible through the oiler hole?? They are on my lil stihl!
i have seen many posts about this, clean the oiler hole etc, but no one mentions this point? the depth to the oiler hole is too far from the bar rail?

So the oil is flowing, but into the brake area ... could be the rubber seal (against which the bar is pressed as the nut is torqued) is missing or damaged? Make sure the lower edge of that seal hasn't folded back into the power head side.

yes we did take apart to check pump, worm gear and that seal does seem to stick out a lil much TY.. i also bought a new bar the old one was bent and i couldn't straighten it out as flat as i would have liked...as i see if the bar fixes it I may need to pull the oil pump again and make sure it is seated correctly in there...
