Does the oil pump have a gasket where it bolts onto the engine? I didn't get one in my oil pan gasket kit. I just replaced my rear main seal.

Thanks. Makes sense, plus the O'Reilly parts guy said there was no gasket in the oil pump box. It appears I have a Melling oil pump in my LT-1. I wonder what it's history is. Melling pump, tack welded pump pickup tube, balanced crankshaft.....

IF you do use sealer or a gasket, it is more likely to leak, not less. You also run the risk of getting the gasket stuff into the pump and causing problems.
