I seem to have oil sweating it's way around my fuel pump gasket on the very bottom. I've been watching this awhile and thought I had it fixed. I put different fuel pump in with new gasket using some ultra black sealant around gasket both sides, let it sit almost 2 days to set up. Just started it up and watched while on fast idle, after a couple of minutes oil starts to sweat and seep out. I'm talking a very small amount here, but the fan always speads a fine layer on inner fender well that needs cleaning after every cruise. Any suggestions here? any one else ever have this problem? I'll check back later (need a beer :finga:)
 
Look closer, because if RTV and the gasket didn't stop it that wasn't it.
Did you use sealer on the bolts?
 
I'm starting to think it might be the oil seal on timing cover. Which would explain the oil droplets showing up on underside of fuel pump and water pump bolts. Looks like a winter project, needed something to do here in MN this winter. :)
