I have an oil leak on the sprocket side of my 029 Super. I thought the cap was leaking so I put it bar side down in the garage to find it in a puddle of oil. Is there something on that side of the saw that could be leaking?
Sure. This should not be hard to find. Take the clutch cover and bar off (you might want to take the rewind off if you feel it could be coming from that area also), clean the saw of all the oil present, and top off the oil tank. Now go get a trash bag, a folding chair, and several beers. You on the chair, saw on the trash bag. Sit, drink beer, and watch.
We could all take bets and speculate, but there's no substitute for just giving it a really good look see. If we were betting.. I'm thinking worn oiler, oiler to case gasket, or the big ugly, a cracked tank. You'd prolly know if you whacked it that hard, though.
Edit: If you see it pizzling from under your clutch bell, you'll need to remove it and the clutch to get a better look. Get back to us if you need to do this.
