Your oil pump works with your clutch and crankshaft. Remove clutch and you will see the cover that hides the oiler. remove cover then oiler and replace with new
If I had an IPL we would attempt a repair but I do not, and Stihl IPLS are proprietary.

I did for "Stihl MS390 Oiler" and found many threads. This being one of the best although it does not address your exact problem.
THALL10326 and Lakeside are both Stihl mechanics. You will find them most helpful. http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=65495&highlight=stihl+ms390+oiler
If you do not find an answer please post your problem there. Someone there has seen and repaired what you have. I think the oil pump or connector has failed. Both are behind the inboard clutch. If internal clutch parts must be removed they have a left handed thread (tighten to remove). HTH

The Stihl 026 PRO does have an adjustable oiler and it is located on the bottom of the saw just below the clutch drum.
Stihl also builds an 026 "Standard" without the adjustable oiler, however, the hole location for adjustment is still there.
The 026 PRO will also have a decompression valve on top of the saw to make the rope easier to pull during startup. If you have the DECO valve you should also have the adjustable oiler. Hope this helps.
