Oil with the Ignition Advancer?

[zerocool61]

I was installing my advancer today and noticed that there is oil in there. A very small amount about 1/4 of a cup or so.
IS THIS NORMAL???

Yes. The oil pressure sensor sits down at the bottom, under the advancer, and it's common for some oil to come past it under normal circumstances... a few drops at a pop while you have the cover off isn't uncommon, and 1/4 cup build-up seems reasonable if the cover hasn't been off in the last few months.
