600 HO Oil Leak

[pshaver8]

I have an 06 600 HO that I cannot get to stop leaking oil. The oil is dripping from the bottom side of the pump (when the engine is not running), so i took the pump off and cleaned and hooked it up to a spare resevoir i had laying around and just let it sit for a day and its slowly leaking oil out of all the ports that go the the engine and carbs. Im just wondering if this is normal and i should replace my hoses or if my oil pump is stuck wide open and needs to be replaced. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Tap the fittings in a bit and cut 1/4-1/2" off the hoses and see if that helps.

Should the oil pump have oil leaking out of the fittings when the engine is off? I would think the motor would fill up with oil.
