I had the same problem when I put one of those V8 valve cover filters from
Pep Boys on the hose coming from the oil fill tube. It got saturated with oil
and would not pass air then the pressure pushed oil out the pivot pin in the
fuel pump. I took the filter off and no more leak. I have a sand seal that's
why it came out my fuel pump instead of the crank.
Hope it's that easy for you also.
