Is this an issue when the saw is stored and sitting in the upright position? If so I have a Remington Outlaw RM4620 saw that does the same thing. I bought it brand new and used it the first time, stored it away and went back the next day and all my bar oil had leaked out.

Steve, first off, thank you for this video. I wanted to tell you that the orange plastic plug can also be found on some of the mid-size Stihl chainsaws, or at least it was there on the old ones. I have a 1993 Stihl 029, 54.1 cc, called the "Farm Boss" back then -- today's Farm Boss (the 271) is a bit smaller, 50.2 cc, but has similar performance, apparently. The current 291 is closer in engine size (55.5 cc). Anyway, my old 029 has had a slow oil-leak for years. After seeing this video, I checked, and sure enough, it has the orange plastic plug, and it was almost out of its hole. I tried pressing it back in, but after only a couple hours run-time it was backing out again. I ordered the little set-screw from my local Stihl repair shop (...and you were right, they didn't even know about this problem). I installed the set screw, with one thread visible, and the oil leak stopped...BUT the set-screw wasn't very tightly held, and after a few days working on winter blow-downs, it had worked it's way out almost another full thread. I removed it, cleaned the hole and the screw with some non-chlorinated brake cleaner, replaced the screw with just a tiny drop of blue LocTite, and it has stayed fixed for the last month of work. Problem solved. Thank you. One last question: I used engine degreaser for years to get rid of all the oil-soaked sawdust (...yeah, I'm a bit OCD about getting it really clean), but I didn't like using water to rinse, so I switched to brake-cleaner (non-chlorinated to protect the plastic). Last year I grabbed a can of (what I thought was) non-chlorinated brake cleaner, but it was the chlorinated variety. I thought maybe I'd ruined the saw. But to my surprise, it didn't seem to do any damage to the cover-assembly or any of the other plastic parts. So was I just lucky? I really liked that it cleaned better, and evaporated instantaneously, unlike the non-chlorinated stuff. I'd like to keep using it, but I worry that long-term use could damage the saw. What say you, Steve?

A great thank you, Steve. Most dealers know nothing about this 000 953 1001 solution. I had this problem (dry chain plus oily chainsaw and floor), which ruined my chain, my bar and I don't know if the piston /segments also... The solution proposed by the dealer was to make a short iron cillinder to obturate the hole. What I did instead was taking a M6 allen screw, shortening it and tapering the threads at the end. It solved the problem. Unfortunately I didn't watch your vid by this time. Your information is so needed! (even for dealers). Many people is complaining of this problem. I thought this issue affected just to my model (MS 230), but I see this is not the case.

When i asked him what the hell is wrong he just said its been leaking for 15 years and still works so meh... i couldn't believe it... My chainsaws are SPOTLESS.

This is weird! My MS250 has been leaking oil which mixes with sawdust and seems to get into everything and gum things up. I decided to clean everything up before looking for the leak and when I took off the pull starter cover to clean it off there was a small orange cylinder stuck in the goop and there was nowhere obvious where it could have come from. After cleaning everything I watched this video and at 1:53 into it, where there should be a little orange plug to keep oil from leaking out, there isn't one, just a hole. I took off the muffler and the little orange plug fit snugly into the hole. I'll monitor the plug after using the saw in case it pops out again and then get the screw-in plug to do the permanent repair. Thanks Steve!

Thanks Steve, I have a 170 and a 251. I will keep an eye out for any sign of leaking oil around this area. Cheers 🍻 mate.

Hi Steve thinking of getting a second hand one that has the oil leak but can't view it can it be expensive expensive if it not the m6 plug

So that's why my MS250 is pouring oil all over the place. If this is a bad design you think stihl would fix this free of charge as a recall. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Steve!, great video, my saw had the plug missing, I think it was leaking for a while, fixed it, now it doesn’t leak anymore .
