Excess oil is supposed to drip out of the red circled area tube. You dump the lube oil in and as over time fuel leaks buy the Element/Plungers and barrels diluting the oil and causing it to leak out of the tube.
You are supposed to take something like a turkey baster with a tube on it and suck out the contaminated oil once in a while and fill it with new oil.
In the 1970's they put 40Wt oil in those pumps.
If your oil level is high remove that tube and clean out the banjo bolt. If for some reason there is a plug there remove the plug and drain out the oil and refill with oil till it starts draining out and replace the plug. If you have a plug every so often you need to remove the plug and drain out the mix of fuel and Oil. It is up to you when to such out the fuel/oil mix and again replace it with only oil.
