Thanks all!

I thought as much, and I'm going to take the car to another garage on Saturday.

I thought that it was leaking from the canister, and a mechanic (Mitch Carr in Kensington, MD...a well respected place) said it was leaking from there. I had just never heard anything about the pump before. The oil leak is fairly significant...it puts about 8 drops down right after shutoff, and it's leaking when I'm at speed, as evidenced by the oil that goes all the way back on the car. What I was really worried about was him telling me that the pump was causing the vibration problem by leaking pressure in the engine.

I'm going to have mounts put on at another shop, and I"ll have him fix the leak while he's at it.
