Does anyone know where to oil the combustion motor. Has anyone done this before?

Depending on the blower, there are 2 little holes in the housing, might be underneath. Some have sealed bearing (highly unlikely, they are much more expensive).
Do a search on "Blower Oil"
Blower Fan?

Don't overdo it, 2-3 drops is all it needs twice a year.

Most blower motors are pretty cheap, they may not even have a hole to lube it, mine doesn't. I take mine off and spray a little lube behind the squirrel cage and let it run to the bushing. Some you can remove and lube from the ends and some are sealed with no way to lube them.

I just checked my combustion motor and see a small lube hole located at the bottom edge of the "Fasco Industries" motor label. Yours my be covered up by the label.
Good luck.
