oil pump on 383 leaking

[jackel440]

Hey everyone!
    I have a big problem.we are getting ready to leave for the Nats on thursday.so we are getting the old fury ready to drive over.so we pull it into the shop and go to change the oil ,and we see there is a leak on the pump housing.seems to be coming from the bolt that goes all the way through the pump that mounts it.we just rebuilt this motor last year and runs good.I wonder what i can do in a pinch to fix it or do i need to get a new pump.I'm afraid we won't get one in time before we need to leave.any ideas
thanks guys

well i took it alll apart and it seems to be the outer housing is leaking past the o rings by the pump rotors.I rewoked the top best i could and reinstalled it,and it isn't leaking too bad.drove all the way to colombus and didn't seem to hardly any oil.so maybe we can find a pump at the Nats tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help

glad ya got it fixed. i'm sure you can find one at most parts stores to replace it. us big block guys got lucky with an easily accessible pump.
