After much research, I am pretty sure my BEWs tandem pump is leaking between the head and pump. Not a big leak, just the head is wet with either oil or diesel fuel on the side. A replacement gasket is around $12, but some people recommend replacing the entire pump (around $350).
I checked the recall and my vin does not fall under the recalled ones although I have the LUK tandem pump without the green dots which is the ones being recalled.
The pump its self seems to be fine. No leakage anywhere on it.
I just spent around $500 for a clutch so I am not crazy about the idea about spending another $350 on a new pump.
My biggest fear is that the old pump fails and pumps raw diesel fuel into the crankcase. That seems to be a pretty rare/non existent failure though.
Thoughts?
