One of my Husqvarna 55 C/P saws has always had a slightly oil leak. After shut down it will have some oil under the saw if it sits for any length of time. Never gave it much thought until it drained most of the oil out of it the other day. So I removed the bar, pump cover, oil pump and both seals and really don't see anything wrong anyplace with those parts. I pushed the vent tube out and noticed it was in the down position toward the bottom of the oil tank. I re-installed it and located the end of the tube to the upper part of the tank.
It appears to have stopped leaking. Are the vent tubes supposed to be straight thru without any sort of check-valve? I owned and worked on a lot of 55's but never had any issues in this area before. Just trying to save myself searching thru the IPL's and other threads trying to find out if the vent tube is open and should be located toward the top of the oil tank?.....tks.....Cliff
