New Stihl Chainsaw leaking bar oil

[DanH1]

This is probably a simple question to answer but my new Stihl Ms181 leaks bar oil when running... is this normal? 
 

When it sits turned off everything is fine, only when actually running the chain.

Does it leak along the bar and chain The oil should come out of the oiler channel, enter the bar and is pushed along the bar by the movement of the chain drive links. If you stand there and rev it for 10-20 seconds, the oil will be flung off the bar, bar cover and drip out of the bottom of the saw.

If the saw is left running, no oil should drip out of the underside of the saw, the chain shouldn't move either as the oiler will only work when the chain is spinning. Older machines would constantly oil but most modern machines don't.

This model can leak from the rubber pipe leading from the oil tank to the oil pump but a new machine shouldn't leak like this.

Looking closer at your machine photos, it looks like residual oil from revving the machine and not from normal cutting as when you cut, the oil ends up in the wood and chip and not running off the machine.

Ok, potentially it’s just because I ran it without chopping anything. The oil holes are all clear so hopefully just because cleaned and ran

Bar is getting oil so likely just a rookie error and my issue for keeping the saw so clean! I should stop playing in the house and chop some wood!

Try sawing with it rather than chopping .  That's the job for an axe . ?
