    i thought it was either the spacer/gaskets on the bottom of my fuel pump or the oil pressure sensor i replaced both and still leeked could it be leaking from in between my block halves? the oil puddles around the bottom of the fuel pump spacer and runs down the front of the motor and the left side as well im stumped....any ideas or similar problems?
