Every compression gasket leaked on all the sensors - fixed those. The right cam plate on the back of the engine leaked - fixed that. Now fighting oilpan gasket leaks. The first one, cork type, leaked immediately; I am now using a silicone type and it too is leaking but not as bad. As soon as that is fixed I will then be in the tuning game

Martin recommended the 'reinforced' gasket from Simon Auto, their part number 011011A and not the cork gasket 011011.
I used it and haven't had any leaks and it's been on for over 2 years now.

It appears to be the main culprit. I have already replaced the base gasket and used the FPIG toyota material and it looks intact. What I see looks like it is leaking from the small vent hole on tower portion of the base casting and I see oil collecting on the hemmed flange of the diaphragm. My question is has anyone else had this problem??? Anyone seen a mechanical fuel pump leak oil from the vent hole or diaphragm? I am curious if it is unique to my car of a common issue.
