Sounds like ya found the dipstick then? If not it's at your right heel, in the plate that's bolted to the side of the transmission. You might be able to take off the plate on the bottom of the bellhousing and spray some brake cleaner up in there, but as the others say an oiled clutch disk isn't good and probably should be replaced.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
