Check carefully when you get under there.  My '84 had a cracked oil passage
plug that dripped more oil than I would have thought possible, but, of
course, it was under full pressure.  A half inch of JB Weld bought me about
50,000 miles!

Subject: Oil Pump Access

Got an oil leak. Could be the three-belt pulley seal at the end of the
crankshaft, or could be the oil pump. Haven't gotten under the van yet.

Question: Can the oil pump be serviced without removing the crankshaft
pulley?

Thanks,
