Not exactly. The oil pump for these saws is press fitted into the plastic housing instead of screwed to the crankcase and both the pump and oil pick up hose are accessed from underneath the saw instead of from the side on the 036.

Is the leak coming from the sprocket area or from underneath the saw, above the handle?

Upon further cleaning/inspection it seems to be comming from underneath as you say

Drain the fuel and oil. Turn the saw upside down and take out the two T-27 Torx headed screws joining the black wrap handle to the orange rear handle assembly.

Take out the three rubber AV buffer plugs in the black wrap handle using a blunt screwdriver and undo the screws which are under the plugs. Also take out the other screw on the side of the handle which is not concealed.

 

Remove the handle.

 

With the handle removed underneath the sprocket area you will see a white/opaque elbow connector held down with another torx screw. This is usually where these saws leak, the elbow connector can warp and there is an O-ring on it which can perish.
