Oil pump leaking

[aaron4915]

Hello everyone! I’ve had some oil constantly on my oil pump and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from.my oil pressure is great. I added dye but still can’t trace it? My question before I pull the pump off and replace the gasket should the check valve bolt be torqued a specific spec? I feel like it’s heaviest around that bolt? Thanks for any help!

There is a gasket under the head of that plug. Check that first, before pulling the pump.

Plug on bottom of pump and faces rear of car. Make sure it's not the filter.
