    Dave, what you have is a fuel pump issue, The pump diafram has a hole and allows oil from the crank case pressure to push oil out the diafram. The hole in the pump is a breather hole for the pump.

      Ed the hole is actually in the block below the fuel pump and slightly towards the rear of the car we did replace fuel pump yesterday but assumed oil leak not related. Thanks

        Dave, sorry, I was thinking the fuel pump, maybe post a pick of the area.
