Ok so my chainsaw has been leaking some bar oil(I find small puddles of it when I let it sit). It is a Stihl ms201T. So I have watched videos on a MS200 (which is very similar) to check different things. It appears most of the oil was actually leaking from the fill cap so I replaced that rubber gasket but here is another potential issue I have found. When taking apart the saw to inspect the oiler and hoses, the video showed the person unscrewing what they called a worm gear. my worm gear does not really screw or unscrew and according the video this means the threads are likely stripped and I would need a new one. Here is the thing, the threads look mint so then I looked closer at the adjuster thing for the oiler. I am sorry I don't know the names of these parts. When you turn the adjustment screw, the little thing that makes contact with the worm gear does visually does nothing. I do not see it move in anyway. Should it move when you turn the oil adjustment screw? If so, what exactly do I need to replace? Thanks!
