Pump Dump

Tried to get it on video, but I just can't tell, almost looks like a crack but that could just be a casting line.
I really didn't want to have to take the pump off, I think I sheared the timing pin last time like an idiot.
I bought a good German reseal kit, but I need to find the leak first.
Need my truck!

Looks like a crack to me. One way to check is to clean and dry the area very well then apply some talcum powder to the immediate area. The talc will draw any residual fluid out of the crack making it more visible. An old mechanic's trick.
