The oil reservoir is made into the chassis assembly. Which is basically the entire plastic part of the saw.

My own personal take on it is this: If you can see the place where it's leaking (like if it's cracked) you can seal it with epoxy or JB_Weld. There is no real pressure on the oil tank so sealing it should work fine. I know I've put epoxy on one of mine in about 4 spots and never had any issues doing so. Just make sure to clean all the oil off the area before you apply the epoxy. If it's cracked where you can't get to it, then you'll have to replace the whole chassis assembly.

So you're aware, the chassis part number is: 530054829

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
