036 leaking bar oil from handle

[chevy_tech]

I put my saw together last nite and fired it up only to notice that bar oil was leaking pretty good from the screw holes on the bottom side of the handle. Is it possible the tank is ruptured above these holes and if so what is a good fix? Thanks.

The handle and bar oil tank are real seperate like. The oil tank is in the crankcase. It could be possible that your case gasket is shot in the area of the oil tank above the fuel tank/handle, and it's dripping down on it. Take your fuel tank off and have a look.

If someone has installed screws that are too long, they will wear two nice little holes in the oil tank.... if so take off the tank, empty and degrease the oil thank, and fill the holes with JB weld.
