Have a look at the bottom of the fuel pump there should be a small vent hole on the bottom, if the oil is coming out of the hole, the pump is dead. If the oil is not from here it's usualy the gaskets between the pump and the block/head check the bolts are tight, if it looks like the gaskets are leaking , make sure the spacer is free from damage (not cracked). Also check the engine breather pipes are clear, if these get blocked crankcase pressure will push oil out of the engine from anywhere it can.
hope this helps,
