Mechanical fuel pump
I have a mechanical fuel pump and it seems to be leaking engine oil from round the edge of the top.
Does this mean its naff????
Do i need to replace it??
It still pumps fuel.....:lala:

Replace it.
If you're getting oil in the fuel pump, there is a good chance you're getting fuel in the oil.....not good!

Put a SHORT bolt in the upper hole, no longer than ¾" long, with a lock and a flat washer on it; and some silicone on the threads. Then take the car to the quarter car wash and clean up your (most likely disgusting) engine bay along the lower right side, and see if you have any more oil leaks.
I'm betting there's nothing wrong with your fuel pump.
