Trying to attach a couple photos, as have done in the past, but cannot, any assistance is appreciated.
To the question. Started seeing a few weeks ago what appears to be oil, and maybe gas mixed on floor. A brownish clear color. Seems to be coming from the drain tube under carburetor. Possibly connected, on top of oil pump are a couple small puddles of oil on top of the body of pump, cannot see where they are coming from, pump cover does not appear to be leaking. All bolts are tight.
Any ideas? Will try later again to attach photos.
As always thanks to all.

The oil on the top of the pump body is most likely coming from a leak between the valve chamber covers and the engine block. The same thing happens on my 1949 Custom 8.

What it looks like on floor. This is what is coming from the carburetor- manifold drain tube.
