Thanks to all who answered my question about what kind of oil to put in a
Champion 400.  I followed the advice of the group and put in a good quality
bar and chain oil and unfortunately now have another question.

Does anyone have a good solution for stoping the leak from the front bearing?

I would settle for even slowing it down.  I put in enough to cover the
bottom spiral gear and the oil started pouring through the bearing.  Did I
put in too much?  The cap that covers the bearing was a little loose but
tightening it did not seem to help.

Thanks to the group for all it's help and patience with beginners like me.

Yes. You need only enough so that the lowest gear teeth touch the oil. They will drag the 
oil and it will be distributed throughout.
