Any chain saw store should be able to get what you need. Check what kind of saw you have, model number, etc. and then use the internet to find a way to order parts.
Sthil and Husqvarna are two different brands.

Not all 345 machines had an adjustable oiler, it is retro fittable if it does not, however if it hs an adjuster, the screw is located on the bottom of the saw between the cranckcase and the fuel tank, just below the sprocket, there will be an oil symbol and a - and + sign there, the pump is three position, for 13/15/18" bars.
Not all 345 machines had a adjustable oiler as standard, they were retro fittable, if it has an adjustable pump there will be a screw head under the crankcase below the sprocket, you will see a + and - sign on the fuel tank with an oil drop.
The pump is not adjustable, it is very unusual for them to over oil, the pump shaft can only rotate at the speed of the engine, it is calibrated to cope with a 15" bar, it is more likley it is leaking out of the oil tank.
Was the plastic gear damaged? The pump itself may be in trouble. Did you check for a plugged filter in the tank? Have you started the engine with bar and chain off? It should ooze out oil from the side port where the bar fits up to. If so, the small oil passages that run from the large holes out to the chain groove on each edge of the bar may need to be cleaned. This saw should have an oil volume adjustment screw on the bottom near where the chain returns to the engine. Turn it CCW to increase flow. Test the volume adjustment by running the assembled saw tip near some cardboard--it should throw off a thin line of oil. Hope this helps!
To check for proper oiling, run the saw at speed with the tip of the bar near a piece of cardboard--it should throw off a thin line of oil after several moments of running. Adjust the oil adjust screw CCW for more oil. The screw is usually in the lower front or underneath the engine. Remove the bar and chain first before adjusting anything and check the oil passages located in the drive end of the bar for plugging--especially the two small passages that go from the large oil holes out to the chain groove on both sides. Start the engine without the bar and chain--look at the oil port where the bar mounts next to the engine. It should ooze out oil with the engine running fast. If nothing at all, the pump, oil lines, and oil filter in the tank should be checked. When everything seems to be working, then adjust oil flow for best operation. Hope this helps!
Turn the Hus 345 chain saw upside down, you may see a little Icon of a oil droplet and a + - arrow by the chain. THe adjustment screw is not pictured in any of the standard user manuals,. but it is a small black slot headed screw over a rectangale metal tab by the chain. I believe if you turn it counter-clockwise, it will give you more oil,, It did for me. If you have the bar off, you can start the saw and see it come out the hole, that would verify your oil pump is working. Make sure the holes on the bar are clean also. running the saw at a fast idle for 1 min should oil the chain well enouth that it starts spraying off the end of the bar when you gun the engine.
