So, I have 2 saws leaking bar oil. Stihl ms200T and MS241C. How would one go about checking to see where they're leaking from? The cap seals look good at this point. Saws are sitting level.
leaking from the cap or the oiler hole/bar area? the o rings can go bad but i think i may have only ever repalaced 1 or 2. i did have 1 cap that had a hairline crack in it and my dealer gave me another one. just curious but what weight bar oil do you use?So, I have 2 saws leaking bar oil.

At this point, all I know is that the oil is appearing under the saws. It doesn't look like the oil is coming from the caps.leaking from the cap or the oiler hole/bar area? the o rings can go bad but i think i may have only ever repalaced 1 or 2. i did have 1 cap that had a hairline crack in it and my dealer gave me another one. just curious but what weight bar oil do you use?
Haha, we have all done it.Note to self, release the chain break when taking the side cover off that saw.
I've been trying to find a tank vent. Any idea where it's at? Right now, I'd think that the caps may be more at fault. I took the caps out, cleaned them up really good, took the o-rings off, and wiped them good, and wiped down the mating surfaces for the tanks. I added some bar oil to the tanks. Still seem to be leaking. Bad o-rings or bad caps??Check the tank vents.
