Arrow Oil Leak Investigation

Ok guys i cleaned up my oily mess and ran the car today. it seems my oil is leaking from a square shaped area at the front of the engine block. It has two bolts sticking out(10mm i think) and black and brown(dark yellow) lines protruding from it. It is a slow drip but is being blown everywhere by my fan. What is this part? ANy ideas why its leakin?

sounds like you are talking about your OMP(oil metering pump) the seals tend to go that mate it to the front cover as well as the one at the end of the pump, i would just get all the o-rings and seals and reseal the whole thing, be sure the lines are ok as well as the clamps are still tight, if you can spin the lines on the fittings easily then that could also be a leak.
