OK, removed the oiler from the Studebaker generator. The metal is soft. I stayed away from the cap and spring, but still smooshed it a bit toward an oval shape getting it out, then rounded it back by putting a small punch through the hole.

It's for a 1/4" hole, so I think the attached item is it.
Gee, I saved $9.

I couldn't find any evidence of a wick, just add 5-10 drops of medium engine oil every 5,000 miles.

Now to remove the plug the rebuilder installed.
