    The oil may be from a previous owner getting carried away by over lubricating the mag plate, or the felt wick for the points cam. Any oil coming up the crankshaft is supposed to get slung off the slinger into the channel that feeds the oil return tube drain. Can you wiggle the crank fore and aft ?
