Can oil pump go bad?
I've got a major oil leak coming out from the oil pump. When the truck is running you can watch the oil run out to the bottom right bolt and drip off. Of course everything underneath is covered with blow back from driving around. These oil pumps are pretty simple and I'm wondering do these ever go bad or would it just be the seals?

I just replaced a Rock oil pump on my 82. There was a very slight drip from the bottom where the pump meets the timing cover. I pulled it and ran a bead of permagasket in the grove and put it back on. A week later it leaked in the same spot again
I Just sent it back to Engine Builder. I am almost certain that pump was warped/bad.

Alright, I guess I'll stay away from Rock. I found one for $48. I have a Rock timing kit and haven't had issues with that yet, knock on wood. Guess I'll look around some more.
