Two chainsaws do the same thing, a Husky 55 Rancher and a Husky 395XP. I keep them clean by disassembling the bar, chain, etc., but oil still leaks out in between useage.
You might try loosing the oil cap on the chain oiler filler cap to release any preasure that might have built up during use and is forcing oil out as it sits. It sounds like a simple fix but it might just work.
The oiler on most chainsaws is designed to be gravity fed. For that reason, if there is oil in the oiler it will drip out. There is no fix to this except for awareness. When possible stop work when you need to refill the oiler. when not possible, expect it to leak and plan for it. for example, store the saw in a tray with some oil-dri absorbant clay in the bottom.
