Is there supposed to be any oil in there at all for the pre engage or such?

Very good question. There is no crank seal on that side and there is about half a mm float from the case to the starter cog. I have seen alternator housings dry as a bone, some with a thimble of oil and one once that had over a litre of oil because someone put the seal in round the wrong way.

Thanks. Top information.
Can I change it without talking out the starter?

Ordered the seal then remembered that I put the engine on its side while in the frame to remove it. Could that be the reason for the oil being in the generator cover?
I'll still change it while I've got it open but just wondering.
Also when changing the cover are there any do's and don'ts concerning the generator its self?
