My saw was leaking bar oil so I replaced the oil tube with an OEM part but the saw is still leaking bar oil. Any ideas on what to look at or swap out next? Thanks!
 
What I've done is pull the tube out of the reservoir, and clean the oil from the area where the tube seats on the reservoir (and clean the tube, too). I then dab a little Yamabond gasket maker (can probably use any number of fuel/oil resistant sealers) where those two parts meet and reinsert the tube. Let it cure overnight...
 
It may be leaking between outer rubber piece and pump if you didn't replace that too. The fitting depends on pressure from the cover. Some have dented the cover a tad over the pump to increase the pressure on the seal (guilty) but that's a temp fix if it works.
 
Thanks for the replies. I ended up ordering a new chain guide plate and will try pulling the tube and cleaning and sealing it when the plate arrives.
