Husqvarna 440e Chain Oiler Leak

Published 2021-07-31
I picked up a new "used" Husqvarna Chainsaw, and found it had an oil leak at the chain oiler. Lets see if this will be an easy fix.

    I needed to replace the chain guide plate and your video helped a lot!

    Great video I had the same problem with mine. Not really what you'd expect from Husky

    I really think this is on purpose, i have a 50cc 2.6hp german chainsaw, and when brand new it would also leave a small pudle under it while sitting in the garage for a couple of days, but once i started heavy use on it, all day cutting, it stopped. Maybe to prevent easy clogging of the oil outlet once you really start using the chainsaw.. thats my theory.

    No need to replace the oil pipe, a little dab of super glue will clean up that oil leak right away.

    I'm glad you made this video . It gonna help me take mine apart to rebuild the drive system. When you were talking about antennas . Are you an Ham Radio Operator?

    This is definitely a fault on this saw because mine over oils too / leaks even when not in use. Thanks for making this video. Where did you buy the rubber hose from?
  • Did it ever develop a leak after cleaning it? I have the same saw, same problem. I've heard to use a little Loctite 518 as a sealant in the area it sits against the "oil port" as a fix. Just wondering if its really needed. My saw is basically brand new. Used 2 or three times for a few minutes.

    Does that chainsaw have an oil adjustment screw? Every video I’ve seen shows one on the husqvarna saws. I have a 440e and I can’t find any adjustment screw!

    I have a 440E too and I'm not getting no oil I replaced everything but the oil filter but I heard that may or may not have a air flow hole In the oil or reservoir?
