Seem to have developed a leak from the back of the oil pump. See photo - I had the headgasket done at a toyota specialist April of last year - including replacing oil pump o ring....along with a bunch of other seals, front main seal, steering pump o ring etc etc.

I know I'm probably wrong here but from what I've searched on oil leaks including youtube (texasknowhow etc) from the oil pump are usually out of the front of the oil pump cover?

I degreased the engine and area around the leak last night and checked again this morning and I'm pretty confident its coming from the pump - its not coming from the oil filter.

thoughts - what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance!
