Here's a thought: If your engine has crankcase blow-by, it may be exiting from the pump vent and settling on the outside of the pump. Blow-by will escape from the engine at every opening and seal. To check remove the oil filler breather and run the engine. If vapor comes out you have blow-by.

Thank you again for posting this. I would have never known or thought of checking this.
I ran the engine for about 10 minutes just now and fortunately, there is no anything coming out the oil filler pipe. I thought that would be the case as I've put about 3,000 miles on the car since we got it running and the mesh in the cap looks just as clean as it did after the first time.
Thanks again for your help with this - it is much appreciated as is all the ideas and experiences of everyone else who have contributed to this episode.
