There are several places.? Things are kinda busy at work now or I'd look for more.
This video has two places:?? Start at 6:28
I've also seen them on the carriage to oil the ways, on the saddle to oil the gears on on the cross-slide/compound.

What I'm trying to visualize is where on the lathe you installed the oilers.? On the ways - like drilling through the ways?

I have a ball oilers installed for use with an oil can with a tip to match. Very neat and not oil all over everything. That is how my minilathe gets its oil. Including the ways.

Not must to look at install.
The ball is to keep out chips .?
My lathe has ball oilers on bedways too but I also have can with waylub that use on ways and feed screws.? The best way a lathe and other tools wear in lack of oil.?
Installing simple 4mm size use a 4mm drill. If drill over size use epoxy to fill gap.?
The type I ordered needs a bottom.
Other types have rim so stops.?
