You would be able to see if it's chain oil on the manifold, take it it's not coming from the exhaust by the sounds of it, how old is it? Has it had much use and apart from the smoke what's it running like? Does it seem to be hungry on chain oil just now?

Had a local guy that I had sorted his saw come back to me a week later for a heavily smoking saw. He fired it up and it filled my sreet with smoke before dying.

 

There was a paraffin type fluid coming out of the exhaust. I tore down the carb - all ok and then changed his fuel - all was then fine. Looks like he had a shot of diesel in his petrol and the petrol combusted in the engine but the diesel was smoked out of the exhaust where it condensed.

 

Very strange but that was what happened - my reputation remains intact - the local guy is a member on this site so may comment.

Try changing your fuel for fresh!
