I'm not mechanical, but I would not expect oil to be leaking from the
fuel pump. Does your 74 have a spin on oil filter adapter? (Located in
the same vicinity as the fuel pump) Extra O rings left in the adapter
when changing the oil filter will cause a sizeable oil leak....I'd
suspect the oil filter rather than the fuel pump. Phil Bacon 72 TR6
