Welcome to the forum.
If you are stuck for translations, there is a 'Bill Brox' on here, who speaks Norwegian, I am certain he will help you.
I will think this oil stain is years of splashing around, and the cork or rubber seal around the dipstick didn't last long. I would not worry about it. If the engine was going bad, it would have a huge oil stain under the larger tube, which is the 'breather'...
 
As "Tony in Mass" has stated is my conclusion. On my daily user TEA 20....been this way since 1974 as per your pictures:

I recently purchased a parts TEA 20. Before I purchased the little beast I removed the "CAP" SEE PICTURE and verified there was NO appreciable engine blow by.....just a thought.....

If the pressure rushes out, knocks you down, and tears the braches off the trees when the "OIL CAP" is removed then you may certainly dicker on the price.............:)
