I was thinking about that today when I was changing the oil and looking for the leak. The bottom of the pump has drips on it. I wasn't sure if it could leak oil or not. I will get another and see what happens. Thanks for confirming, you the man!

Ok you know the f/p can leak oil right? Have you ruled that out?

RE: Mystery oil leak
What kinda breahters do you have on the valve covers? I had one leaking oil from there once. I was thinking of the valve covers also, if you have a quark gasket. make sure you didnt kink the gasket, i did that once to and i leaked oil from there. The oil has a habit of coming up from under the valve cover bolts on my engine. I put a little silcone of the tips of the bolt before i run it in the hole.
