Yeah, chain saw oil... should work.

Can somebody please explain what this is and if it is an issue? I had this happen recently (fluid appearing on the floor) and I do admit I have not had a chain driven bike for many years so I am no doubt over lubricating

I mean what is that a picture of, and does it present an issue?

I’m actually pretty smart but useless when it comes to anything mechanical so need to ask stupid questions or I’ll never learn

im having mine serviced in a couple of week so want to mention it

The front sprocket cover with an accumulation of greasy crude build up that should be cleaned, it happens and I personally remove and check when servicing the chain so there's no build up. Issues, rubbing on the chain removing lubrication, depositing the crude back on, adding wear, on and on
