As the title says, my AK42 looses oil and makes a mess.

There was a small foam strip that came away from where I assume the
lubricator outlet is, but it did not seem to serve any purpose.

Has anyone stripped the oil mpump on one of these?

I'd guess it has what I found a while ago on one I stripped (I'm not
quite sure if it was my old Bosch or my very old B&D). The oil pump
is a very simple cam driven plunger type thing, completely internal so
I'd not expect the oil pump to have anything to do with an oil leak.

I don't think I'd expect total oil tightness in such a device because
the oil is supposed to sort of fall onto the chain anyway. Just drain
most of the oil out and store it in a plastic bag (the chain saw that
is, not the oil!).

They nearly all leak as they get older.
You may well find if you store it a certain way up, the oil doesn't leak out.
I try to run mine out of oil before I store it

Most saws do, often the pump is a rotary plunger working on an axial
cam, the oil can leak past the sides of the plunger, from a breather
and simply from residual oil in the outlet. Store it on a newspaper.

If you use OSR as the lubricant and don't intend using it for a while
empty the tank and run a small amount of mineral oil through.

Mine leaked from day one. Taking into account the sophisticated motor and mechanical adjustments of these machines it seems as if the oil delivery was not thought properly (was it so difficult to provide a way to regulate the oil flow?) It leaks ALL oil left in the deposit. (so I need to refill everytime I use it again)

total loss oiling system will lose oil over time when stored ... not
much you can do about it except turn it upside down and drain the oil ....

I dare say it has lost many gallons of oil, since this was originally
posted five years ago.

There's a claim here, the oil is propelled
by an oil pump that runs off the throttle.

The chainsaw sump is only meant for chainsaw oil, not motor oil,
not synthetic (low viscosity) motor oil.

Chainsaw oils (red tinted) come in "summer" and "winter",
the winter being thinner for low temperature outside work.
Like felling trees after an ice storm. The summer oil is
thicker, so some of it will stay on the bar and chain.

And that's different than the mechanism that keeps a
gasoline engine piston lubricated. That's just the chain oiler
mechanism. The chain oiler window should have the "red tint"
showing.

store it on whichever side leaks less.

Well it's certainly wrong for one of my (three) chainsaws, mine had a
little cam driven pump. Admittedly mine are electric so running off
the throttle isn't very likely! :-)

Mine has been sitting on a sheet of plastic for quite a while,
and no signs of leakage, and the reservoir is usually at least
half full.

Maybe some part of the housing isn't tight.

Yes? Even if stored 24 hours? 😂

Neither of mine leak, but they are both electric.
