I just started the car yesterday after a fresh rebuild. I found a huge oil leak on the oil pump:cry:. I took a picture of where it is leaking out. I can clearly tell it is coming from there. It is the plug behind the the oil pump gear. I snapped a picture of it. I am not sure if it is part of the balance shaft eliminator or if it is the fuel pump itself. I really need some feedback if the pump needs to be replaced or if i can fix the flug?

Yeah, you will have to move the belt out of the way to get access to the castle plug. The o-ring is on the back side of the plug. Put a little bit of oil on the 0-ring before you put it on the plug and some more before you put the plug back in to keep from tearing the new o-ring.
 
so if I go to the local hardware store can I just get a oring to match it or can I order it somewhere? could you show me the link.

Nevermind i find the part number on extreme psi. Thanks for all the input though. Really appriciate it!
