I believe that you and Karla have nailed the problem,though I have not yet had a look for myself.The reason that I posted my issue under warranty as opposed to maintainance is that my saw was brand new and leaked from the start, right out of the box.It looks like this is a common problem and I would think that the Husquarna engineers might think about better materials,fit,or at the very least adding the sealant you all refer to at the factory. cheers jb

Thanks Karla for the lowdown on the oil system. The saw leaked about 2 Oz. of oil {just sitting} in 24 hours after I got it back from my local dealer,since then I have run it about three hours and now seems to leak much less when setting on the shelf {MAYBE 2 OR 3 TABLESPOONS} . I think I will just run it until it needs a sprocket and investigate the oil pump at that time,as I do not have a clutch removal tool for this saw yet.Thanks again for your help...always good to hear from someone who has "been there and done that " CHEERS ,james
