To install a replacement oil line will entail major dis-assembly. The oil line goes from the tank behind the drive mechanism and clutch assembly. It entails removing the brake assembly which can be difficult to re-assemble due to the strong springs used. There are numerous videos on youtube explaining how to fix these chainsaws and I would strongly advise watching them and make yourself confident in doing the job. I have attached a user guide but that does not refer to this level of repair.

If in doubt take it to a qualified repairman to be sure of a fix.

Hope that helps.
