Why does my RYOBI 18V/36V Chainsaw leak oil when not in use?

12/12/2024, 21:04
  • Oil leaking from a Chainsaw is a common occurrence and does not signify an issue with your chainsaw.
  • Oil is pumped through grooves around the chain bar to ensure the chain and bar are lubricated correctly. Therefore it’s common and expected for a chainsaw to have oil left in these grooves after use.
  • Over filled oil levels can increase the chances of oil leaks due to temperature variations or storage on uneven surfaces.
  • To avoid your chainsaw leaking while in storage it is recommended you empty the oil reservoir before storing.
  • Cleaning your chainsaw correctly after each use can help minimise oil leaking when the chainsaw is not in use - refer to the video instructions below:
