Hi Spud there was defo a small puddle of oil under the saw ,I rang Honey Brothers and spoke to a guy in the workshop and he told me it’s prob normal to leak a bit of oil but my other 880 that was stolen never had a puddle of oil under it but some of my other saws seem to weep a bit of oil as the shelf I keep them on is oily , I am at the Bath and West show this week so next week I will take some photos and hopefully you and everyone else can advise me if I need to have it looked at ,

Thanks have a good bank holiday
