The pic didn't make it into the re-sent mail so I am guessing here. I have a=
 29D engine in Bluehealey and had a similar issue. There is a cast mounting p=
ad below the generator that is intended for a mechanical fuel pump. Although=
 the hole for the pump actuating arm doesn't exist the two mounting bolt hol=
es do! They are tapped as well.  I put button head Allen screws into the hol=
es with copper washers to seal them.

Let us know what you find.=20

Hi
And sometimes, especially on older (100/6) cars the hole for the fuel pump i=
s covered by a cast iron plate, secured by the two bolts. The more you tight=
en these bolts, to stop the oil leak, the more this plate will bend and crea=
te even more oil leakage.
