is oil supposed to come out of the alternator housing? i think the previous owner overfilled it in an effort to keep it mobile. it looked like the oil was up to at least 3/4 the length of the dipstick (WELL above the "full" range), and about 2/3 of the way up the alternator/stator rotor thingy.
is this bad? am i going to have to replace the alternator?
yes the bike was and has been level for months (was on kick stand for a while).
hard to tell exactly, but if you look close you can see the "shine" on the lower coils (or whatever those white plastic wrapped things are)
