Checking Bridgeport Series I oil flow

I am working on a conversion of a B-port Series I mill for my home shop.

Yesterday I removed the oil reservoir/pump, cleaned it and verified that the
hand pump does pump oil (took me awhile to figure out that you PULL the knob
on top not PUSH it! <vbg>) and verified that the clock motor does run when
120 VAC is applied.

Questions:

1) How does one verify that oil is getting to all the right places? I wiped
the ways clean, manually operated the pump and ran the table back and forth
to its limits several times and I think there is oil on the dovetails and
ways but I want to know how to check for sure. I opened the front of the
spindle and there is oil where the spindle goes through the bottom of the
head casting.

2) How does this pump operate? Does it move the manual handle up and then
release it? How often?

3) I assume that I should have power to the oil pump motor when power is
applied to the spindle motor (i.e.: not 100% of the time like when the
controller is powered on)?
