Oil that gets into the fan housing will be blown into the generator with the generator cooling air. So the question is: How is oil getting into the fan housing? It's either some that someone poured in there, or its leaking out the tail of the case and being spread out in the housing by the fan. This is unusual. Is your crankcase breather functioning correctly? Do you have a lot of crankshaft free play? > Any ideas? I'm smoking like a mother!!!! And I need this engine to get > me the fall....

No If you look on the very bottom of your fan housing you will find a ~1/8" drain hole in the split. Run a wire up this to clear out any debris that might be clogging it up. Do you get oil pouring out?
