I seem to have an oil leak from the oil pump on this 400 4bbl 4spd Roadrunner. What are the steps to fix this?

Thanks Tom

Pull cover off pump if there are gouge marks in cover replace. Also check gears if more than .006 clearence from gear to body or .008 from gear to gear tooth. Need to replace pump. Also check gasket on relief valve.
Good luck
