Hi, Heating oil is weeping slowly from the location shown in the picture, which I presume might be where it is injected into the combustion chamber. I have not tried to disassemble it yet. I expect that a gasket might have broken down. My question is whether it is possible to get a replacement for a unit this old?

Alternatively, I could make one. What material would you specify for an oil tight gasket?

Any other suggestions or comments will be gratefully accepted.

Many thanks, Michael.

The part you have indicated is the oil pump.
If its pump itself leaking new pump.
Will need a competent oil engineer with test equipment to set up.
