I have a 2150 that also leaked oil from new. factory wont admit they have a problem..so here is the cure. remove chain cover and chain and bar. carefully remove silver bar mounting plate.degrease the area, carefully remove the white nylon elbow, clean it good and the rubber housing it came from. apply a good silicon gasket material around the nipple of the elbow, push it back in the rubber, and fill up that area over the elbow flush to the plastic housing. wait at least 24 hours to cure..reassemble the bar plate and bar and chain..and use bar and chain oil...hope this works..did for me...
