Mechanical fuel pump leaking oil

Well, it looks like I'm grounded until I can get my fuel pump replaced. It was found seeping oil from the overboard drain this weekend. Probably just a slight tear in the diaphragm, but oil going overboard is a sure sign that it's gonna break.

DANGIT!!

Stupid expensive airplane parts.

tell me about it... I had to replace that cylinder on the cherokee D:

At least that's all I had to replace besides regular consumables!

My altimeter is off at the avionics shop getting certified, tomorrow I should have a fresh VFR/IFR certification.
