On most vehicles, you have to remove the transmission , but there may be an inspection plate, in order to view the rear main seal , this will give you a better veiw of both surfaces at once to determine which one is leaking. You will have to clean the whole area , and maybe wait a while , unless it's a bad leak.

How do you determine if the rear main seal is damaged leaking on an 2002 Chevy Tahoe?
You will have to pull the transmission out and remove the fly-wheel to inspect the rear main seal. It is a 1 piece round seal that slides over the rear of the crankshaft. If the rear main seal is leaking on that 2002, I would find that very odd.

The job of the rear main seal is to keep the oil lubricating the rear main bearing from leaking out. Older model rear main seals were made from a "rope" type of material. Today the rear main seal is a one or two piece seal made from neoprene rubber and is located directly behind the rearmost main bearing journal of the crankshaft.
Is oil suppose to be in the in the stator case of an XL 350 1974 model?
NO. You either have a rear main oil seal leaking or the back of the intake leaking oil and even could be a valve cover gasket leaking. But I would say the rear main is leaking and when the engine is running the flywheel slings oil onto the starter.
