I am looking for some help getting my recently purchased chainsaw to oil the chain. 

 

First thing is after the first use I stowed the saw back in its box and the next time I went to use it all the chain oil had leaked out.  Contacted Ryobi and they said to empty the oil after use. OK, cool.

 

Now I went to use it after a tree fell in my yard and the chain is staying dry. No oil seems to be coming out. (Yes I added oil before starting. As soon as I went to start it up there was already oil leaking from the bottom of the saw.  I am hoping for a procedure for pulling it all apart to fix the oil leak which is likely before the oil port.
