after 300 miles , mag has oil inside causing failure. oil is returning to tank what could be the problem.

I would suggest checking the oil pressure relief valve piston. Which may have stuck in a fully open position. This in turn would flood the timing cover with oil which, in turn, would be forced through the magneto oil seal by pressure in the crankcase. Sometimes a simple cure to this is a new pressure valve spring.
