These motors are not designed to be lubricated and have a "permawick" lubrication system. There is no oil port on the motor. Introducing flamable oil into the motor could be dangerous. The fan should be replaced.
Howdy,
If your fan is older, it may require oiling. On the motor you should see a hump, or a hole in the center of the housing, and then a small hole on the top side of the center of the housing. Inside is a wicking material which holds oil. When this dries out, you will notice the fan stops quicker and may take a while to get up to speed when you start it cold. Here's a video from a friend of mine on how to oil a fan. Yours should be similar to this.
