560 oil leak

[Marsh Monkey]

I've got a 560 that is absolutely peeing chain oil when running, I've changed the oil pump and the pipe into the tank, as far as I can tell they're in properly are there any other obvious things it could be. I've kinda ruled out a hole In the tank as it only leaks when running

This . Its not unheard of especially on the early saws that had one less crank case bolt than the current model .

Drain the oil tank and refill with fuel, if there is a leak it will start pretty quick and you should see where its coming from.

Finally had a chance to start looking at this leaky annoyance just a thought could I use a tank sealant? Saves splitting the saw and of the seal has gone once it'll go again no doubt...
