Oil leak - new style fuel pump

Hi,

I fitted a new-style fuel pump after 5 years trouble-free running on the original pump. This has worked fine for the last two years but I now have a small oil leak from the drain pipe. Anyone else seen this? Do I need another new pump?

Cheers...Keith
 
It?s my understanding that ROTAX has called for pump replacement every 5 years. Looks like you found the reason why.
 
The replacement pump has only done 2 years, and probably not much more than 100 hours.

Keith,

Bummer! I misread your post as 5 years on this pump.

I would be concerned about any oil coming out the drain port. Have you tried pulling the electric pump fuse and checking fuel pressure?
