This one's a bit weird.
I had a significant oil leak from the fuel pump gasket. Replaced it and all seemed well but there was still a little leaking.
Today I thoroughly degreased the engine and ran it for a while to see where the leak was coming from.
It's coming from the water pump/engine seal.

I've cleaned and verified the leak several times so I am sure that's where it's coming from.
I tightened the bolt above it and will see if that helps, but in the interim I wanted to get you guys educated opinion on it.
Seems to me there shouldn't be oil there? I need to look at the oil passage diagram but unless it's leaking through the bolt hole above it I'm not quite sure where it would be coming from.
