You my friend need to replace your chain then. I'd bet all the o-rings dry rotted and flew out years ago. I'm pretty good about chain maintenance, but I'll hit it with some Dinosaur oil anyway. Although the whole point of O-ring chains are to keep the lube internally, so you don't have to use the kinds of lube that attracts dirt. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
