That's really strange? Cant imagine what would be leaking near the fuel pump other than a coolant passage inside the timing cover. I wonder if the timing chain let go and did something? Pull the dist cap and check for rotation while cranking.
That sounds good.

Yesterday I had the hood up nosing around... and it doesn't look like the timing has ever been off. I know the timing chains usually let go around 100-120k... and this thing has got 130k on it. I got my lawn mowed... but haven't had a chance to take a closer look at the car yet.
