chain cleaning

[rufus t glasgow]

There's more than likely a blockage somewhere, or even a hole worn in the pipe on your oiler.
Chain oilers once tuned in properly are the best way of lubing your chain, but its by no means the only attention a chain needs. C'mon, were not that thick!
Scottoilers do only oil one side of the chain, but capillary action moves the oil to the internal parts of the links. It won't necessarily oil the outside of the links to prevent rust.
One thing it will do is pretty much double your chain life, and massively reduce the need to adjust the chain slack.

it's only been on the bike for around 2k miles. Ive checked for leaks, i can see quite a few air bubbles but i've unable to bleed them using the scottoiler bottles. I will admit when it was working it was working well, it just didn't oil the inside face of the chain, it has rusted up quite badly. I may try using a syringe to force the oil in and hopefully it bleed.
