Ran my new Husky 545 cutting down a few trees a couple weeks ago. Had a lot of fun, cut a bunch of wood.
After sitting unused for the next couple of days, it left some bar oil on the workbench. My older Pioneer 1073 does plenty of leaking, is it just something common with all saws? It did stop, so maybe it was just the bar groove draining back?
I'm using Husky white bottle / blue label bar oil if that makes any difference.
Does the pump just allow gravity to feed oil through it when it's sitting, or are there certain crank positions where pump passages are open? Not sure what kind of pump it is, or at least why it would allow a leak.
Venting issue, like I need to open and close the cap after use to relieve any pressure that could be (somehow) built up in the oil tank?
Thanks.
