Hello all,
I've been hunting down the oil leak in my 82 300D (t) since I got her 6 months ago. Here is as close as I can get:

Oil leaks onto the top of the oil pan from a location near the front of the fuel pump. It is not the valve cover, nor a leaking tube. Nor is it diesel. 3 options seem possible.

1. leaking from a gasket around the hand pump.
2. leaking seal (if one exists) between the pump and the engine.
3. the 6 inch long oval/rectangular flexible pad on the underside of the fuel pump.

Anyone have any idea of where a gasket or something might be shot? I dont fully understand the dynamics of the fuel pump and oil lines around it.

Thanks,
Paul
