When I rebuilt my 292 engine last summer, I installed a new oil pump from Precision Oil Pumps. This oil pump was supposed to be blueprinted.  My engine has always had a small oil leak.  Recently it has gotten a lot worse.  I thought for a long time it was the rear seal.  I jacked up the car today and the bolts that hold the plate on the bottom of the oil pump were safety wired.  Two of them were loose.  I tightened all four bolts on the pump and it still leaks about a drop a minute.  Should I remove the plate and use sealer or buy a new pump?
