Just removed my alternator!

Couldn't get the rear busing to move at first, even with a chap from a big hammer but sprayed WD-40 on the bushing and left it overnight. When I came back to it, half a dozen taps with a regular hammer (with a drift, on the bolt head, with a regular hammer) moved it 1-2mm and I got it out through the firewall quite easily after that.

Just wondered if anyone has any insight regarding the pools of engine oil that I then found sitting on the block directly behind where the alternator is fitted as per this image!?

The result of a previous overfill or something more sinister??
