    Yea
    It's back to leaking a little puddle after running it.

    That leak is usually oil thats inside the clutch cover or on the bar...it runs back out when the saw sits. If you have a clean clutch cover thats not full of dust they leak worse as there is nothing to soak up the oil that slings off. Just what I have noticed on my saws.

    And like Mike says I run all my saws with like all the way up. There stingy enough. The stihl use about 80% of a tank per fuel.

    The 372 will actually drain the oil before the fuel sometimes!!!
