Jay -

You didn't indicate Air or Water Cooled, but the cover gasket (paper) is the
same.  In either case, the rear engine carrier some of the exhaust (Air
Cooled - also the Fan Housing) will have to be removed to access the oil
pump.  With the engine in its a real PITA, but it can be done.

111 115 111 B - Oil Pump Cover

Note - This a very thin gasket by design, so NO gasket sealer is to be used
so that there is a specific spacing tolerance between the gears and the
cover. The cover may be worn, so you may have to lightly re-surface it to
get the pump grooves eliminated.

Yer leak MAY be a crank pulley seal going bad - this is a more common leak

Air Cooled 2.0 - 021 105 247 A

Water Cooled - 025 105 247 A
