Oil from Fuel Pump dump/vent
 
I have the dump or vent for the fuel pump just poking through the belly skin just in front of the firewall. I noticed a little bit of oil splattered in this area after the last flight, and I'm assuming something is amiss with the fuel pump. I thought I would ask if there is another explanation. I see perhaps one drop spread out on the belly, but I've never seen this before in 830 hours. It is the high pressure version. I will not fly until it is resolved.

Thanks in advance.

Time for a new or overhauled pump.
Good Luck,
Mahlon

Yes, I was quite sure of this, but thought it wouldn't hurt to check.

Thanks,
