My 38 engine started but still a problem. For some reason gas and oil are running down the passenger side of the engine starting just under the manifold as soon as I start it. It has only been run about 15 seconds and I quickly shut it off when this started. I think one problem that I have is possibly a ruptured fuel pump diaphragm .The top of the fuel pump cavity was full of gas and it was also evident that I could smell gas on the dipstick and the oil was also thinner. The gas was mixed with oil was dark and was running down almost the entire side of the engine . I also was wondering if I could have a combination of a carburetor needle hung open along with a bad fuel pump. The oil is new and has only a total of about a minute of running time.
