Anyone know of someone that does a good job rebuilding fuel pumps? Mine is leaking oil (yes, oil). It appears to be leaking near the block but is not leaking at the gasket between the pump and the block or at the bolts that attach it to the block. Thanks

Check the venting on the crankcase. Oil being forced out the fuel pump maybe too much pressure in the oil pan.

Common for the oil to leak at the pin that goes through the casting. Pin the arm pivots on. The only cure is a new fuel pump.

Do you have the combination vacuum/fuel pump? If so, blowing oil is common, and the cure is go change to just a fuel pump.
