oil leak from fuel pump
Posted: 08 Aug 2009, 10:56
just finished changing my push rod seals (all outers seal were gone
) and now noticed that the orginal fuel pump has a leak on the gasket where it joins the engine block.
my only problem is that i have installed an electric fuel pump that i had laying around as after holding 16 years of stagnent fuel i was worried that the original one wouldnt last vey long, im prepared to replace the gasket and leave the pump just sitting there but, i was hoping if anyone new if there was a blanking plate available to totally remove the pump??
also if i remove it will i loose all of my oil or will it be like the push rods tubes and only loose a tiny amount??
oh its a 2.0ltr cu engine
cheers scott
