New/Novice - Chain oil Leak

[DanH1]

I got a new MS181 and it seems to be leaking chain oil pretty bad.

 

Only used a couple of times but the amount of chain oil seems a lot.... this is after a clean and then running chain for about 20seconds

 

only leaks when running, fine when off/not in use.

 

Hopefully just an easy fix or because I ran not whilst cutting.

 

Cheers

Just out of interest try putting bar on upsidedown and running saw

Running a saw in free air will spray oil into every nook and cranny of the crankcase and chain brake, and as there is no saw dust to dry it up it will drip out under the saw when left, I would suggest cutting up a few logs then set it down and check under it after being left.

He seems to have posted this twice and ADW has said what I have said on the other post!

I hope you have all the required PPE. It sure seems like you're gonna need it.

Im not joking. You clearly dont have the first clue about using a Chainsaw, so for your own safety I genuinely hope you have the right PPE as its only gonna be a matter of time before you do yourself some serious damage. It would not be a stupid idea to get some training before you start using your new toy.

Appreciate that, will certainly take care and get some training

And PPE? You have Chainsaw Trousers or chaps at the very least I assume?
