Does it leak bar oil? My Poulan will leak every drop of bar oil when stored.

I've used this saw to fell and cut a 35' / 16"+ tree in to 18" pieces, trunk took quite bit of work due to diameter, and no leaks yet.........but need a new blade.

My husband said it leaked oil all over the darn garage. But he's not sure if he had stored it wrong.

I have tried attachments from other makers, such as Craftsman, and although they plug into the socket securely, they are not a proper fit because the small metal tongue that rotates inside the shaft gets overly compressed against the Poulan Pro engine head, and thusly, make unusual grinding noises. I do not recommend it.

No barb it has pressure compression connections (you put hose in hole, with a brass slide and nut and fasten). It is about 2 and 1/4 inches deep. I put it in my supercharged jeep several months ago - works great.

Have run 4 tanks of gas through the saw and have had no problem with bar oil leaking. Good saw for the money.

I haven't had any problem with leaks. I've been using both bottles for oil, one for vegetable and one for EVOO

I've used it in consistent rain and 1 downpour without issue. I removed it from my bike and dried it off once I got to my destination but never saw any indication that it would leak.

I would only use this once (Twice if it doesn't completely seal the leak, which what happened to my last car). Don't quote me on this, but you need to resurface the head if it is warped and you are planning on re-using it. Now is the problem a warped head, worn gasket or a crack head? That is what you need to find out first. Bar's leaks should be a temporary fix until the problem is resolved.

I bought this oil because I kept losing power steering oil. The description of this oil says it seals the leaking part of the pipe. I don't know if this oil is going to fix your problem.

Yes it does, if left overnight. I have found that once I am finished sawing for the day, I simply pour the unused oil in the saw back into the oil bottle and use again. The oil is not contaminated and it does not hurt the saw. It is my experience and from what I hear that all these type of saws leak off oil for some reason.

I had this on my mower for a year and the threads into the engine were loose this spring when I went to change the oil. It hadn't leaked, the quarter turn valve was still in the closed position, but the entire assent into the engine was very loose. I would recommend using threadlocker like loc-tite when installing. One issue with my mower (deere d140) was that tool access was tight, so it's possible I didn't tighten to a proper torque.

so far, mine has not leaked at all and I use it maybe 2-3 times per year. I think it depends on a good seal and heavy grease. I have had other guns with lighter grease installed that were a mess. So far, this has been fine. HTH!

Sure!! If you order this be sure to open it right away. I ordered two and both of them had a slight oil leak. Still Recommend.

Mine was only leaking oil when it was first delivered out of the box.Apparently, they say that when it is transported or stored upside down, there is an oil leak.So far, I have stored mine the right way up, so I have no oil leakage at all...

Hi, I don't have that problem with mine (I have 4 installed). there are only two things that will make this valve leak. The mating surface inside the valve is damaged or the mating surface on your oil pan is somehow compromised.

Hi Mike, Great Question - I checked. The grease nipple is inserted into the top of the shaft and hole for the grease extends past the top bearing and is cross drilled below the top bearing. The grease fills the cavity between the upper and lower bearing. The lower bearing has no seal on the top side thus it would be lubricated and the grease would also help to keep the water and dirt out. The top bearing has seals top and bottom. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately just about all chain saws will appear to leak oil when not in use because the chain and bar are saturated with oil during use to help prevent wear. I recommend storing it in a plastic bag with some paper towels under it to absorb any dripping oil. I absolutely love the Greenworks battery powered saw. You can use it immediately when needed.

Yes as long as the gasket is in place and you completely screw it tight, it will not leak! I've turned my upside down many times or it has fallen and nothing leaked out.
