In looking through the parts fishe I don't see any seals which would keep oil out.

I'm not sure on the 250, but on the inline fours, if the starter clutch is next to the alternator rotor, the stator cover will have some oil in it. If there is no starter clutch mated with the rotor, it will usually be completely dry.
