my omp is leaking?
my 1988 gxl oil metering pump is leaking a little, about 2-3 quarter size drops a night? Should i buy a new one or get the the rebuild kit with the o-rings on this site? Suggestions are welcome.

Figure out where the leak is coming from. Usually it will leak past the crush washers that seal the lines to the OMP itself. In which case, you could buy new washers to replace the old ones. But be extremely careful removing the 4 bolts from the lines. The plastic is very brittle and breaks easily.

The lines themselves are also old at this point and may be cracked. New ones are available at the dealer, for about $20 each. Or you can make your own with nylon line from the hydraulic store.
Degrease the entire area and then run the car to find the leak.
