I had a oiler go out on one of my 166. It was the gear on the pump of the oiler itself.  Watch it 2 different gears. I ruined a brand new oiler once. 
Yes they are adjustable, if working.

Here is one  http://www.ebay.com/itm/SACHS-DOLMAR-166-OIL-PUMP-CHAINSAW-OILER-GOOD-USED-PART-/400245076733

Circled.  Look at bottom of crankcase on bar side for a hole that may be filled with wood chips etc.

It should show on crankcase.  Clean it off and see. I want to say yes,  but cant remember.

See the indent in crankcase under clutch drum right center. Follow up to adjusting screw.
