Thanks for that, Rick.
Checking out the hose junctions was one of the first things I did, and I applied sealant (teflon tape) to them just in case they were the culprit. But the leakage continued.
So then I took the bar off, and could actually see the oil coming out of the delivery hole (whatever it's technically called)-- just siphoning out all by itself. So I suspect that the internals of the oil pump may be stuffed.
If it is the oil pump (and I think it is), what would you say are my options now?
Cheers,
Mike.
