hole in cover

Just purchased a 650 kz 1978 kawasiki, got home found no oil in motor. put oil in motor it poured out of left side. The cover that goes on before sproket that drives rear wheel had hole where the guard around sproket has been hit with I think the drive chain, dont see what else in there could have broken the guard off that created the hole. Even though the chain was not loose. Is this a common problem, also ran a compresion test, only got 60 psi cranking with starter out of all four cylinders. is this thing scrap, or should I continue to try and start.Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks poky
