Is there any solution to drooling bar and chain oil when storing a saw out of position? I want yo put a scabbard on my tractor and just leave the saw there. Apart from not wanting the huge mess, if it pukes out a tank of B&C every time I use it, that is inconvenient and expensive.
The 365 I would like to use leaves a pool every time it is set out position, it seems to come from the oiler tube under the bar.
 
Usually from the oil tank being pressurized after the saw heats up, or temp changes. Sucks air in but doesn't let any out, so it pushed oil out the oil hole. Just crack the cap and vent it after the saw cools down. Usually solves most of the issue. Basically became a habit of mine after I'm done with a saw. They will always leave a little bit from what's slung around under the cover and in/on the bar, but not near as much.
