The bar oiler on my processor is permanently leaking down through the sawdust channel that puts the dust onto the floor . Has anyone had similar experience?

Is it definitely the oiler not the pipe to the bar? That pipe can crack over time because it's always flexing.

 

The oiler should only work when you're cutting because it's powered from the same shaft as the sprocket.

Yep same issue. It was the pipe from the oiler to bar the first time. Then the part of the oiler where that pipe goes in had been over tightened and had cracked, replaced with the cheaper one Kilworth offered but it's still leaking from somewhere in there. No idea where.

I just put up with it. Too busy cutting to worry right now. Just don't leave the tank topped up if you're not going to use it quickly.
