I noticed a small drip of oil from the pressure port on my -9A. I have an IO 320 B1A which has a 45 degree fitting off the top right port on the engine. When I looked further, I noted that the fitting, which needs to face downward to avoid the engine mount, was not tightened rather held with a thread seal. When tightened properly, it would face upward. I ended up taking out the engine mount and the fitting, tapped the port another 180 degrees and re-installed the fitting with fuel seal and getting both the clearance from the engine mount and the tightness I needed. Thanks to Tom Swearengen for helping with a new hose and, as always, good advice. Now, no drips!
