I’ve been storing my saws as photographed. Been doing it for several months no problem. Just noticed this morning the 441 is leaking oil. Appears to be coming out of the spilt in the case. How much of a Problem is this? Will it cause an air leak? Or should I just stop storing it this way and not worry about it?

Tighten your case bolts first and I wouldn’t run the saw unless if you pressure vac test it because there’s a good chance it has a air leak

(Edit) make sure it’s coming out of the case half’s clean the saw nicely and get some paper towels and set it down flat and then check we’re it’s comping from
