oil in alternator - is this OK?

I have a 1979 Honda XL125S trailbike that I can't get a spark with. I'm a very amateur mechanic. I'm pretty confident that the CDI and coil are OK and so am now looking to the pick up and alternator. I've found engine oil in the alternator area when I removed the left crankcase cover. Is this normal? Would this affect the ability to get a spark? If not normal, what do I need to do to fix it?
... see picture
Thanks in advance.
