I found, what I think is a good deal on an 066 but the guy says the chain broke and put a hole in the oil tank.  He fixed with epoxy.  Any info would be great. 

I know very little about 066 except I want one. ;D

At work I fixed our Husky 372's oil tank with J.B. Weld.  After almost two years of service since then still no leaks.

 Another option for repairing a leaker is Loctite 5900 RTV . This is not your average gooey stuff you buy at the auto parts store in a little squeeze tube  that won't seal anything .

This stuff is used in the auto industry in place of gaskets for oil pans,front engine covers and the like . It sets up about the consistancy of an o-ring . In addtion it stays somewhat resiliant and won't shake apart from vibrations like JB weld does after a while .It's a tad bit pricey but works like a charm . I recently repaired the oil tank on an 038 Mag with this stuff .
