Good afternoon all. Recently had an oil change with what appeared to be a vacuum pump failure that followed. Car was dumping oil out of the pump area, A LOT, that meets at the block. Replaced the pump and that seemed to show some improvements in braking, air but still have a slight oil leak in that area. Any ideas? Would this be the pump seal on the valve cover? From my understanding this seal is stationary as part of the valve cover. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
 
Hello, I did you do the repair or a local auto shop? I replaced mine in my 2014 and it can only be a few places that it would leak oil. I would also double check the torque on all the bolts and make sure that black rubber gaskets are not sticking out from over torquing during installation.
