Got an ms181c oil isn’t coming from the silver port it should be but from above I’ve included a picture where the red oil is coming from it’s not two stroke oil it’s chainsaw bar oil for some reason it’s red. 
 

does anyone have any idea why it’s coming from the port above and not the correct one and how to correct it?

I thought the oil came

from the right hand side circle hole down into that metal channel then onto the chain or am I wrong?  it’s pouring out of the hole where the red oil is and hasn’t been since I had the saw so I figured something broke or needs adjusting ? 
 

thanks for the reply!

Yup, the circular hole is the tank breather - it allows air in to the tank as oil comes out. The red oil is red because someone has put two stroke in to the oil tank at some stage....recently.

Make sure you put chain oil in the oil tank and a 50:1 premix petrol to oil in the fuel tank.

The chainsaw doesn't mix the oil with the petrol, you do it BEFORE pouring it in the fuel tank.
