I've tried making my own, and unless you just really like metal work, it ain't worth it, and mine looked silly. I can buy a set of aftermarket "West coast" dogs for $25, and then spend that money on gas.

And yeah Dave, I have a set of 660 dogs on my 361....just gotta redrill the holes on the outter dog, and they line up fine.

Well i spent yesterday afternoon making them. They turned out pretty well... i painted them and they are drying while im at school. I will put up some pictures this afternoon when i put them on the saw. Also this weekend i will get some action pictures cutting through some 32" locus.

On the 200T I'd check the line from the tank to the oiler pump. The only reason one of mine would leak like that is if I ran it a long time on the bench without actually cutting anything with it. Then the excess oil would drip out after I shut it down.

Just how long have you run this saw? I'd expect some excess assembly oil to come out the exhaust in the first 5-10 minutes running time. And maybe the dealer has it set a little rich so you don't burn it up in the first week. Put it to work and run 4-5 tanks through it (actual cutting, not bench time) and then recheck the carb settings.

Oil out the bottom may be from running it on the bench with the oiler turned all the way up.

edit: Two hourson the saw and you haven't cut anything with it? That explains both your concerns. Put it in some wood so the rings can seat, bench time won't help.

Before i put it away for winter i drained the Gas and about 90% of the bar & chainoil... Does the line for the oil pump come in towards the top of the oil tank then go down to the bottom of the tank? like a straw?

Those two hours were cutting, before i set the saw there the bottom of the saw was clean... the next day there was a oil puddle under it...
 
Here's a picture I had of an old parts saw (tank is missing). This will give you an idea what yours looks like under the plastic covers. ;)

Your saw was so clean it didn't look like you'd used it yet. 8)
