Poulan 25DA pouring oil out at the bar hole

[jltrent]

The saw has the manual and auto oiler on it. Everything else is in good shape. When the saw is running it pours oil out at the oiler hole at the bar. Leaving the saw on the floor afterward there will be a big puddle of oil under it the next day. How can this be fixed or is it worth fixing? If it is the Oiler diaphragm is there anyway to block it off to only use manual oiler?

It looks like this saw on Ebay.

I found this diaphragm, is it the right one and dang what a price.

Those oilers are driven by engine impulses when the saw is running. If the diaphragm was bad I wouldn't think it would oil. One way to stop oil from leaking once saw has stopped is to loosen oil cap. You might post this over in the POulan Thread under the "Stickies". Someone there will have more detailed info than me.
