Fuel pump

I have a 75 f100 with a 1980 ford 302 motor. I have a small oil leak at the fuel pump. Is the leak as simple as a gasket replacement or should I replace the entire pump?

I would replace the gasket unless the pump is bad.

And it is obviously just the gasket on the block, otherwise it would be gas coming out and not oil, correct?

Every mechanical fuel pump I have seen that went bad leaks gasoline into the motor oil, not motor oil out of the fuel pump.
