I also found where it is leaking. It is coming out of the housing that holds the hydraulic filter. Looks like it is leaking where it mounts to the transmission case. A simple gasket I'm assuming.

Hope this picture comes through.
Bob,

Picture came through just fine. Well.. well .. How about them apples? On the lower left corner of the pump you see two holes that are lined up vertically. I have one screw in each, top one was the level hole and bottom was the drain hole and oil fill on top as you know. The darn pump looks exactly like mine. My pump is only connected to the engine from the front where it is coupled to the timing gear housing. It is yet a mystery to me how the oil gets drained after you filled the injector pump. The normal engine oil level must be the same as normal oil in the injector for the physics to work (siphon principal), if the oil in the engine and pump are connected by a drain line they should seek same level. If the engine oil pressure lubes the pump then, injector pump can be higher and should be a drain to the crankcase that is continuously draining.. if that is the case, why fill the injector pump separately. This is giving me a bit of headache you know... by the way I meant to say it in my earlier post. I bought my oil from TSC (Tractor Supply). if you do not have the store I recalled soundguy mentioned some universal UTF sold in Walmart that meets and exceeds Ford 134.

JC,
