That last one... That was clever. I have struggled with this on a couple of my saws, so maybe this is the reason. Just overpressure in the tank squeezing oil out. Cool deal. Thank you for that advice.
Very helpful indeed, I’ve been given an old one of these chainsaws. And the screw on the. Bottom of the chainsaw where you have an oiler adjustment is missing, the half circle area just below the clutch
Very good job of addressing the different problem areas. Unless there is a lot of chip build up I stop running the chain. Less residual. I also crack the cap then tighten.
The old 028 Wood Boss that i inherited from my grandpa leaks like, well, like my grandpa probably did. I just figured the old Stihls marked their territory like old Harleys were known to do. My new 661 Magnum doesn't leak at all, yet. It goes through gas and oil like it's got holes in the tanks, but that just because it's such a thirsty beast. I find that if I lay the saws on their side, they don't leak nearly as much.
I've sent my chainsaw back TWICE under warranty until they said there's nothing wrong with it, drip feed systems do this and it's normal. Each time I find the saw leaks oil each day just sitting in my shed, even after a week not using. Surely they could come up with a solution to this phenomenon? Like a pressure release valve being active when not in use or something?
Nice video. Chainsaws don't leak, they mark their territory. 🙂
LOL! Thanks mate :)

You’re welcome :)

Hmm how strange!

Thanks Steve! Yep, keep it clean, crack the cap and you’re good to go :)
Excellent information video Tom well done 👏👏👍
Thanks Nev!!
Very good tips, interesting analysis but quite correct.
Thank you 👍
Thank you for this, really appreciated
You’re welcome!
Since 1984 and a new 024, I always thought that the bigger the puddle the better. Figured it was why saw cases didn't have holes in their bottoms.
Haha thanks for sharing
Good vid Tom, I usually recommend draining the oil when not used for extended periods and cracking the cap as you said.
Spot on Kenny, me too. If it’s not going to be used for a month I’d suggest tipping it out, but less than that it’s a fiddly mess and not worth it.
Cleanest saw I’ve seen .
Thanks, dad looked after it well!
Great tips Tom!
Thanks Stella :)

My 036 leaked behind the oil pump , i just put a thin o ring to reseal the join to the oil hose , quik fix and hasn't leaked in years
Interesting! Glad it worked :)
Good info Tom
Thanks Al :)

Yeah it’s annoying! You could make
Something yourself, but I just leave them on their sides with caps cracked open a bit.
@@VintageEngineRepairs Thanks for the video, I think I'll do the same from now on. Wasted a lot of oil in the past year before discovering this
And I thought mine was the only one that piddled like that 😆
Haha nope :)
The crankcase is constantly getting oil coming into it. Where does the excess oil not sticking to the parts go? What keeps it from building up inside?
Out the muffler! Either burnt or unburnt depending on tube and load
Bar Oils, using incorrect or a replacement oil that may be cheaper cause a leak if oil is to thin?😊
Hmm using a thinner oil shouldn’t cause it to leak no! You’ll pump more of it though :)
@@VintageEngineRepairs thanks just a thought for those using other oils or worse used old oils.
Do one on the dewalt dcmcs575n tentioner cog stripping problems 😂😂😂😂
Ah I haven’t heard about them, how frustrating!!
Good advice Tom . The caps a utter junk.
Thanks Pete, yes I much prefer the screw type for a few reasons!
Especially in cold weather, those bar oil caps are very frustrating!
I think you have an ant problem 😮 thanks for the video nice job
They are the bane of my existence 🤣
That oil leak is nothing my 2 stihl's leak probably 5 times that and always have since new
Annoying, but it is the way they are unfortunately!
👍
👍
You do realise pro saws have a tank check valve dont U??
Yep, you do realise they’re only a 1 way valve don’t you?
@@VintageEngineRepairssnap!
Love the good old annoying Australian birds 😂
Hahaha you in Aus too?
next time go straight to the point without the 5min intro
Thanks for watching
😊😀👍🏼😇

That goat is annoying
Goat?
