Narrative:
Low speed rejected takeoff; about 70 KTS; for left generator EICAS. Light use of reverse; normal (non rejected takeoff) braking; cleared runway at taxiway wc. Flight attendants and passenger notified of problem; checked brake cooling limits; contacted dispatch and maintenance and returned to the gate uneventfully. Aircraft X had history of low oil in the left idg. Idg svced with 3 quarts of oil. Maintenance surmising that oil was slowly leaking into fuel through fuel/oil heat exchanger. Created carry forward item to check idg oil within 25 hours and released aircraft.
