Hello, thank you all for the helpful comments. Mine is the 'non-dipstick' style pump. The rear part of the pump is receiving a flow of continous, fresh, engine oil (with no fuel in it) coming through into to the rear section. It flows quite continously...about one drop every 5 seconds and a stream coming out from under the red breather 'oel' cap. I haven't taken the pump off yet to see if it has the drain return in the front section near the spline, but either way the oil should not be in the back section and under pressure? Suggestions I have received so far are that:
A) This is not normal for the rear part of the pump to experience oil pressure
B) Probably the seals around the lower parts of the front section are leaking or damaged
C) The pump will need to be repaired - H&R Fuel Injection or Jerry Fairchild were two suggestions. Any others?
Thanks all!
Richard.
