Yes, the EX250 Service Manual Engine Lubrication System diagram uses what looks like a large comma (or maybe it's an apostrophe) to indicate locations where oil under pressure flows out of ports/vents in the camshafts and gearbox shafts and from the perimeters of plain bearings and there's a comma/apostrophe shown at both ends of the crankshaft.
(I'm looking at my Pre-Gen Service Manual but I'm pretty sure the crankshaft oil flow didn't change with the Next-Gen)
