Chasing an oil leak

Narrowed it down to the fuel pump leaking oil. Go figure. Anybody else have Fuel Pump leak oil? Common problem?

Can't say that I have had a functional fuel pump leak oil. I hear horror stories of a ruptured diaphragm leaking fuel into the engine, but, as the arm is covered in oil, and extends through a seal to the outside, it certainly is possible!

Fuel pump leaking oil you say? Yeah I've had that happen quite a bit. Leave some old gasket material on there after replacing the pump, have old soggy gaskets on there in the first place, all cause oil leaks. Now oil leaking from the pump itself is something I've never seen.
