I don't know anything about that saw in particular so remember that part please. 

I would clean it off dry, using carb cleaner or some such drying solvent and an air blower.  Fill the oil tank and let is sit for a few minutes to see if it leaks like that.  Might want to use some thinner oil than normal bar oil.    Then I would start it up for just a few seconds, maybe 10-15.  Shut off and look for oil.  If nothing, run it a few seconds longer, maybe 30.  The leak should be obvious at that point.  If there is oil all over, clean it up again and run shorter time.  Good luck.  :)
