If your fuel pump is stuffed it can leak fuel into the head, which ends up in the sump (oil). |

Hasn't been running the best (as per my previous post last week about it being sluggish), cleaned the carby and fuel filter and it seemed to be a bit better. I noticed the fuel pump has a very slight amount of oil on the little drain pipe thing, but not abundant amounts coming out and no signs of leaks under it. BlueSuzy wrote: Smell my finger?

[quote="foonji"] I noticed the fuel pump has a very slight amount of oil on the little drain pipe thing, but not abundant amounts coming out and no signs of leaks under it. quote] sounds like a fooked fuel pump if there is any oil comming from the fuel pump overflow |

Had a similar issue early on. Got a length of 8mm washer hose and put it into a drink bottle zippy tied it up and went for a drive. I didn't think it was leaking much either. Caught 250ml in 10km.

This afternoon before I went off I cleaned up the drain, after 100km there was nothing noticeable. (can put my finger on the end and nothing comes out) Will give the hose and bottle a go to double check. |

Where is the oil level on the dipstick? Has it risen since the oil change? I'd be sticking a new pump on anyway, easier than rebuilding the engine. |

oil level is around 3/4 mark at the moment on the dipstick. Haven't noticed any rises, just gradual decreases whenever I top it up always seems to drop back to 3/4ish. |
