I can't tell exactly where it is coming out of sure, but it looks like it is coming out of the bottom. Anyone have a parts diagram?
 
Take the wrap handle off and check for cracks in the bottom of the case. Especially in colder climates this is a problem. I've epoxied a few will reliable results.
 
oil line has a grommet moulded on to it where it exits the case. Check and make sure it didn't get poked into the hole.
 
Looking at my service manual, two o-rings on the oil adjustment bolt, and one on the nipple that goes into the elbow connector at the top of the pump. The grommet/bead on the suction hose is another potential leak source.

I'd send a pic but my scanner is down again...(???)
 
I have not tore into it yet. Between the kids and honey dos I have not had a chance, but hope this weekend to get it done and see what I can find.
 
Where is Tommie when you need him the most ? ;)

Leaking as quick as you can pour the oil in ..
