The eBay PS pump always had a slight leak around the high pressure fitting.

But there is also an oil buildup around the front cover and chain tensioner. Not unusual for a 17YO/250,000km engine. So the chain tensioner could be contributing as well. It's a long time since I had a chain tensioner out, is the seal a gasket or O-ring?
