I recently obtained a bridge port clone. When I removed the table to clean U found out the lube system was not getting oil on the front ways of the table. While the other points getting excellent lube. Is there a way to manually oil the ways and not worry about tracing down the issue.

Sure, get an oil can and get to work. You will soon tire of it and go back to trying to get the oiler system working properly again. Instructions are available with a web search. Whatever you do, do not wear out your mill before its time because of it not being properly oiled at all times.

sure, you can always just apply oil directly to the ways, but do it often.
just a fyi, the oil galleries are more effective at distributing oil than manual application
