My 346XPG is leaking oil. Any advice on what to do?
A little 'dripping' is normal on 75%+ of most saws..A few drops, a good puddle or the whole tank?
Find the source and fix it? Just my opinion.
Well..there is the "Free Fix"..which just means lean the saw at a 45° toward the recoil starter side..Yeah, well that is the general idea and the reason I ask for advice what could be the cause.....
Yep, it's a good puddle to be found when it have been standing for a couple of days.
Since it's leaking when not in use, I would suspect that the leak is before the oil pump?
Or could the leak be after the pump anyway?

But I guess this is about leakage after the pump?

I was just busting your chops
You can replace the oil hoses if you like. Heat may play an issue also. Pressurizing the tank and forcing it out. There is a breather for the tank but heat thins oil and created pressure at the same time, the vent may not allow enough release.
Any owners manual that I've ever read says not to store the saw with oil in the tank anyway.... So they do warn ya lol no matter the make or model.
