Default Oil leak need help!

95 12 valve 2500 2wd with 218k. Have an oil leak on left side of engine under the injection pump. Can't tell where it is comming from. Previous owner said it was a headgasket leak. Not loosing any coolant at all so i am not sure it would be a head gasket. It was low two quarts of oil and before i added the oil the leak had stopped. Once I added the oil it started to leak. Is there a plug under the injection pump that may have backed out. Thanks in advance. Wonderful site with some very knowledgable people.

I would check you vaccum pump gaskets or possibly the vac. pump rear seal.

Default oil leak

The leak is above the vacuum pump. i can see oil running down the side of the block but i cant see up behind the injection pump.

I did mine as well. I've been told it's possible to do without pulling the pump off, but it looked at lot easier to pull the pump to me so I did.
