Default 1962 Dynamic 88 Fuel pump leaking oil ??

I have a 1962 olsd Dynamic 88 with a 394 in it went over the whole car changed lots of bolt on stuff including the fuel pump that is the vacuum assist type because it looked like it was leaking oil. Well looks like the same thing is happening to the new, one has anyone else run into this promlem and can maybe point me in the right direction to get it fixed.looks like the oil is coming from the middle of the pump Thanks for looking Joe

Is there a proper gasket on the fuel pump? Could the leak be coming from the bolts?

Yes the gasket on from the pump to the block is new and it dont seem to be leaking from there.

If the gasket is good, I would be looking for a crack in the block at the mounting flange. This seems probable given that it leaks with 2 different fuel pumps. Do not know what else to suggest?

Just found the problem cleaned everything up "AGAIN" and the fuel pump itself is cracked I just looked at the old one and it too seems to be cracked.Crazy because I can see it seeping out of the one on the car as it is running. So thanks for all your help.Now what I would like to do is put a new fuel pump on without that vacume assist on it because thats where Both of them are cracked. Can anyone help me to witch one I could use Thanks Again Joe
