May be coming from the case halves, or as you mentioned in an earlier post, it is coming from crank pulley/fan. The outer edge of the oil slinger washer go away from the crankcase (toward the pulley). That groove in the pump housing IS important. It is to help direct oil away from the outer edges of the pump cover.
