Default Fuel Pump Oil Leak?

Folks,

Need your help or experiences with this. I have developed an oil leak and it seems to be coming from the fuel pump. It is not coming from the engine to pump gasket.

Is it possible for it to be leaking oil from a venthole on the top?

I am running a stock BB fuel pump (canister type) and the pump is covered in oil on the bottom.

No other signs of oil leaking. Brand new rebuild on the engine less than 200 miles with break-in. (10) year old fuel pump.

Thoughts?
