Professor,
Tried sending an email but looks to have been lost.
I recently bought a 1200/1500w Model ST1500 mfg. by Robot. It's the typical GX clone in a downsized version. It has an oil leak at the governor shaft on top of the block. I've looked at every IPB of this series motor and none show a seal for the shaft, only a plain flat washer.
In your Photobucket pics you have an excellent shot of the governor.

It appears there might be a seal in the case where the shaft goes through the block. Do you remember if this is a seal or just a washer?
I've check for a plugged crankcase vent and is OK. The leak is significant while running. If this is just a flat washer it probably is to deflect oil thrown from the crank and may be missing. Returning the gen is not an option so I may have to do surgery.
Thanks
