Don't worry about the oil, has nothing to do with anything. The crankcase is open to the stator housing. Something has to lubricate the gear train. I'm posting 3 pages from the manual to get you started:

How much oil are we talking? I think you should expect a little oil in there.

Good morning, I experienced some issues with my 1500 drifter a week ago, after some testing I was convinced that it was due to either a bad voltage regulator or a bad stator. However, upon removing the crankcase cover I noticed that:
1.- there was no gasket between the cover and the crankcase
2.- I also noticed oil inside the cover and spilling into the stator.

My questions are:

Is it normal to have oil where the stator is located and that is keeping the stator from properly generating electricity

...or...

Do I have a bad stator?...

all of the above?.

I can provide pictures upon request.

I want to keep my Drifter running for many years to come and your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
