Leaking Bar Oil

[pbillyi69]

even though i have fixed some of them. i usually dump them so i dont have a big mess

I store my saws with topped off fluids & ground chains so that they are ready for the zombie apocalypse.

I got some diapers for mine. Temperatures swing 30+ degrees daily and tank pressures push some out. I only dump tanks when I know they will sit for a *long period.

With no air bubble in the tanks there is no air to expand nor retract due to temperature changes!

Just saying.

And if so, just running the saw would create leaks. Oil/Tank temps climb higher and faster with use then outside temps.

Are you suggesting servicing the saw *after I'm done working?! Heresy!

But when running...the oil has somewhere to go that is desired and it is compelled to do so with a pump.

Not true. At idle no oil flows, as the clutch is not engaged. Yet temps still climb faster and higher then any outside temps.
