Oil In Stator Housing

Hi Jay I can't answer your question I'm afraid but may I suggest you lose your postcode from your details as I'm sure you would like to keep your Daytona safe

 

I can't speak specifically for your engine but it is quite common to have a dribble of oil when removing the stator housing on most engines I have worked on including the 675 Street Triple.

 

I have a 2011 Sprint GT 1050, and recently replaced the stator housing. I can confirm that there is some oil in there. I replaced the housing after a low-side, low speed topple when my rear tire hit the painted yellow lines on the street under acceleration in a turn on a 39-degree day (tires were cold). When I picked up the bike and started to ride, my left boot was covered in oil from the cracked housing. Your bike is a twin, isn't it? I assume that the engineering is similar, although I can't attest to that.

 

Remember that when you tighten the bolts on the thin seal of the stator housing, tighten the bolt at 12:00, then 6:00, then 9:00 and finally 3:00 before working your way around on the bolts in between those points. I tightened them sequentially, and created a wrinkle that made the seal leak again. New seal, new procedure and voila! Tight as a drum!
