Just for clarity I call it the lift pump but it seams to be referred to as the fuel pump. Regardless I'm not referring to the injection pump.

Thanks for the help.
When I write I like to include some of the names things are called by; I put Fuel Supply/Lift Pump; with another slash it can become Fuel Pump.

If it is leaking Engine Oil that is the Gasket between the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump and the Fuel Injection Pump Housing.
Also on the M type Fuel Injectin Pumps there is a Cover right above the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump that can leak downwards and seem like it is the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump.

If it is fuel that is leaking it is something on the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump itself.
