I have a 1996 Ford Ranger 2WD 2.3L 4-cyl. I had a leak behind my timing cover and found that the oil pump was caked with grime, so I suspect that is my issue. I replaced the o-rings and the pump-to-block gasket and went to re-install the pump. I poured some oil into the pump prior to installation and noticed oil seeping from the weep holes. Is this a normal occurence while the pump is not installed in the motor? Or does this indicate a faulty pump? Thanks for your time.
