Engine oil leaks

Also can cause alternator output fluctuations as shown by the charge gauge!! Now do you understand about my reply to your other posted 'answer'?

Already said the valve cover gaskets were done and slowed the leak down! Don't rebuild the oil pump, Replace it.

I cleaned the engine then took a lok see after driving some distance-the oil appears to run along the oilpan top edges where the bolts attach to engine block. The oil then flys off pan to the exhaust pipes. I attached a splash shield made of sheet metal using hose clamps to attach to exhaust pipes-the oil hits it. I had replaced the front oil seal that's behind the belt drive pulley. I think oil is leaking from oilpump. Why do you say to replcae rather than rebuild pump? Thanks!
