Re: Fuel Pump Leak?

I should have specified... I'm working on a 2302-5 ('50 Super Deluxe Eight) with the 327. I usually just maintain my oil level on the dipstick, which indicates seven quarts. The car itself isn't new to me at this point, just some of the components, and I'm still understanding how they operate both normally and when they fail (or need maintenance), namely the mechanical pump (the electric pump is still there, but have wanted to run the car on the mechanical as the primary), crankcase breather, and the oil bath air cleaner. Sorry for the confusion!

In this case, I was just more worried that I'd get responses like "Splatter mark, uh oh! Well that indicates the grenade-shaped object on the side of your engine is about to pump all kinds of gas into the crankcase and indeed do its best impression of a grenade!" Seems like we're not there yet.
