the stihls have cap problems. try a new cap

All 4 of my Stihl's from my 015 all the way up to the MS 880 mag leak a little bar oil.

My huskies have always dripped

Mine too!! I put a few paper towels down under my saw to soak it up...

Cheap bar oil is runny and drips right out.  I like genuine Stihl bar oil.  It's thicker, like honey.  It doesn't spray all over my jeans, and it doesn't leak all over the back of my truck.   

What type of oil are you using?

That's just sweat from all that power, Husky guys would never understand

I am using STIHL bar oil...it's seems to be better now, so I'm thinking one of the kids may have knocked it over and then set it back upright. I realize there will be so leakage. The saw has been amazing  thanks again for the help.

Of course the Husky guys are done cutting all their wood with less power, by the time Stihl owners get done adjusting their carb!

What model is it? There are a few home owner grade Stihls notorious for this.
Did you run it recently & have you cleaned out the oil holes & channel in bar?
Like others said, a little dripping out of the oiler hole is normal. I have 3 that do it. If its leaking out of the case, thats not good. A bad seal there, could overheat your saw quick. You can do a vacume test on it to determine a leak.
Arboursite.com has alot of saw gurus. You could ask there too.

All 8 of my Stihls leak bar oil to one degree or another, MS250 to the 066Mag, keep the right weight oil for the season and make sure that the cap o-rings are good.

All of my saws leak a bit. Good high quality oil is thicker and tends to help.

Thanks T-Dozzer and others. I think I may have a bigger issue...forgot to check model but saw that is leaking a fair enough to warrant dropping it by the shop that I bought it at...cool small local shop that's been around for 30+ years. Hope it is something simple. Will post results soon.

I had the same problem and replaced the rubber oiler line and solved the problem
