My saw leaks oile very where no matter how securly th e oil capis on. The designis terrible and is only one of several reasons I ma very unhappy I purchased a Poulan saw. The lack of certified service locations is also a huge problem.
the singal nut securing system for the bar is a piece of crap and terribly prone to slipping thus you may not be able to keep the chain tight ever and will need to return the saw to a service location for exchange, if there is one any where near you. I am very sorry I purchased a Poulan saw
