Hi there, so 8k after replacing my cylinder head it appears that re-using the gasket for the tandem pump is now failing. I initially thought it was the rocker cover gasket causing a leak of oil but after replacing that and still getting drips on the drive it must be this. I could smell the diesel scent when I parked up and lifted the bonnet last night too.
Thankfully I have sourced a used pump for £25, and bought a new metal gasket for £8, lets hope this does the trick. Strangely the car still pulls fine, it's just making the rear of the engine and gearbox wet with an oil and diesel mixture.
