Isn't that stator plug on the left side engine case? If it's leaking doesn't that mean a bad oil seal on the crank and oil getting on the rotor/stator where it should be dry? If I'm recalling correctly that fitting is not on the inner primary case is it? That rotor/stator assy. is dry isn't it and not bathed in hot oil? And that rubber fitting to the voltage regulator is just to keep dirt/dust out and insulate; not an oil seal.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I've seen pics of that area being disassembled and don't recall that stator being covered in any kind of oil?

I guess people cean parts before putting pics up....

Correct. It sits back in toward the crankcase but is sealed in the primary. The rotor, stator and inside portion of the plug are in the primary fluid.

You may be right. But this one leans more than any I have seen. I am going to pull the cover and check the level anyway. Since it was just changed he might have overfilled it.
