Husqvarna chain oil leak repair 346

Worked like a charm- thanks! My Husqvarna 351 leaked bar lube from day one. I returned it under warranty to Better power in Waterbury, Vermont, USA and they could never figure it out. I put up with this much longer than I should have... A constant battle with bar lube leaking everywhere - and now not a drop! I would add that it is nice to use a clutch removal tool on this saw. Thanks Theinfoworks... if I ever find myself down on your side of the globe - I will buy you a beer.

The Hylomar finally came in the mail. Made a clutch removal tool, then got down to the oil pump. My 357xp is different than the 346... has rubber blocks for both inlet and outlet which simply press against the pump body... just little teats on the pump, no hose fittings. I put a film of Hylomar on the rubber blocks and reassembled. The leaking has stopped! Incredible. Thank you so much for posting your video!!! Oh, I get a little piddle of oil when I screw on the oil filler cap, but during use, or sitting on the floor.... no leaks... thank you again.

I love being able to repair these saws they last for years and without them life would be hard

For what it's worth, I own a 350 and a 44 and never had an oil leak until I switched to some Master Mechanic "cheap oil". I eventually went back to Some Stihl oil and now using tractor supply's product and the oil leaks went away. Not at all saying that there are not other reasons, but just glad the fix for me was so easy. It seems as long as there is plenty of STP in the product the results are excellent. My 44 must be well over 20 years old and has been used and abused and still a great saw. They just don't make em like they once did.

Thanks for this video.I have an older Poulan Pro and it leaked chain oil sitting in the case.Just recently bought a Husky 440 and it does the same thing.I THOUGHT this was normal with chain saws,but I'm not a pro but have spent a lot of time with them.I am glad I found someone that has a fix for this.I'll have to try this.

Thanks very much for the tip. I've had a chain oil leak for some time now on my 346xp and it has only gets worse. Tried your suggestion and now my saw is dry as a bone even after a week!

I haven't fixed my 345 like you have shown yet but I now leave the oil cap loose so it can't build up pressure from temp changes. Bar side down, oil cap up and so far it doesn't leak out with cap loose. I'm probably just lucky so far. I'll do your fix later. Great saw and a great video. Thanks.

Great deduction Holmes. I'm going to try your fix on my 350 that has the same problem. Thanks for posting.

Great video, nicely detailed with the still photos

Great Video! It's defiantly a common fault with the 346xp. Will have to try this! Thank you

Good Advice Andy, Ive chased those leaks on alot of Husky's...

Thank you soo mutch, i have this problem on my "Husky" 136 chainsaw, now i can fix it!!! From Portugal

Hallo, das ist ein hilfreicher Tipp, damit hab ich meine beiden Husqvarna 345 endlich trocken bekommen. Nur mit ein bisschen´Hylomar m´ den Pumpenzylinder eingefettet und wieder so in das Gummiformteil gesteckt, daß die Löcher fluchten. Danke Andy!

Thanks for the information! My saw leaks like a demon - has from day one! Love the saw but it sure makes a mess!

Ah ha! I thought it was the oil tank and rubber feed tube seal, didn't think it would be that..I took my 357 apart again, did what you did, and presto - fixed!  Me (and the concrete floor in my garage) Thank you!!

Thanks! I'll try it.

Hi Andy, Thanks so much for this Video. I would be over the moon to repair my old 346xp that has this issue. I'm living up on the Isle of Eigg so not easy to get it somewhere for a repair. Will let you know how it goes! I recognised your name and realised you are the author of a book I own too. Funny old world. Keep up the good work. Angie

Just perfect video,THANK YOU 💖😇

That's magic. The back of your truck will no longer be an oil slick. All part of the sharing of information. Thanks for your comment and feedback.

Thanks a lot for sharing that Andy...I was able to fix a similar problem on my Husqvarna 445 Rancher on account of your video.
