People often create oil leaks eliminating the a/c and not replacing the bolt for the a/c bracket that goes through the pump. There is also a blind plug where the dipstick would go through the pump on a 323. New pumps do not come with the plug. This would be a really big leak, though.

When I first built my track car, I replaced the front main seal in an attempt to cure an oil leak. But it still leaks oil. So now that I have the front of the engine apart, I would like to fix the oil leak. As I recall, someone (Bill Cardell?) once suggested oil could be leaking from a port or plug on the pump itself. Does this sound right? Is this accessible from the front or does it require removal of the oil pan? Thanks, Luis
