The last couple of times I've ground clutch drums down I've put a drill bit (I think 10mm) in a vice, with the smooth shank sticking out on top, then spun the drum on a needle bearing on the drill shank, instead of on the saw shaft, for grinding. Keeps the saw away from the grit.

My guess is the oil hose from pump to bar mount. I recommend taking off the clutch to check the oil pump to start with. Here’s a rough procedure - clean with compressed air at each stage:<br />Remove bar and chain<br />Take off the circlip that holds on the clutch drum.<br />Lift the clutch drum off the shaft - inside is the needle roller bearing that will need fresh grease on reassembly.<br />Remove the centrifugal clutch (has springs and weights) with a 19mm/3/4” socket - clockwise (LH thread). Easiest way is to use an impact driver, otherwise take out spark plug and block piston with some clean cord. It’s good to be taking off the clutch periodically so it doesn’t seize on. <br />Under the clutch is the oil pump. <br />The oil hose from pump to bar mount is visible - check for leaks or perishing. I think there is a little metal sleeve inserted inside the oil hose where it fits into the bar mount - don’t lose it. <br />There is also a grommet between the pump and the crankcase that could leak. <br />After you reassemble the saw body, check the bar is in good condition. If the oil hole or groove are blocked with sawdust, the oil can’t go where it should and can find somewhere else to leak out. Here’s my video on servicing bars:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49SSfLdJITs&feature=emb_logo<br />These are such good and repairable little saws - good luck with fixing it.
