    Hello, I'm new to this forum and I have a question regarding the fuel pump with a vaccum fo the wipers. Is the fuel pump lubricated by the oil from the vaccum line that connects to the bottom of the fuel pump (where the vaccum lines are at)? If not, can I plug the line where it connects to this line? Reason is, is that oil is starting leak from the bottom of the fuel pump where the vaccum lines connect.

    If oil is leaking out of the vacuum lines then it's probably time for a new one. I take it you don't use the vacuum part for the wipers? If not just get one without the vacuum.

    Thanks for the information, I'll do that and replace the pump without the vaccum part.

    The single-chamber pumps are lots cheaper too! ;)
