Oil film on carb and below ('63 bug)

[crowther]

After putting everything back together after a 12v upgrade and adding oil to my stock air cleaner (to indicated line), there's a small amount of oil showing up on the carb throat and exterior of carb, and wome of it works it's way down further. Not a mess yet, but where's it coming from. Overfill of aircleaner oil reservoir??

Mine did that as well. I believe there was a small crack in my air cleaner. I have changed air cleaners and no more mess.
