My diy oiler uses a squeezy bottle to pump oil into a 10ml syringe as a reservoir en route to the chain, but the very early prototype used a 20ml syringe in place of the squeezy bottle - similar to Mike's but feeding a reservoir.
Biggest problem was that the plunger consistantly fell out when the thing was full of oil (it was ok when it was near empty), dumping it on the rear tyre. Probably down to vibration and wind pressure but rather than sort it out I swapped to the bottle approach which has worked ok for years
