Last summer I finally found the source of a bad oil leak, the oil pump gasket. It's now leaking in the same exact spot. What could be causing this gasket to keep blowing?
I've been looking for the cause of other issues like erratic idling, it will revv itself while at stoplights around 3000 rpms then die back down, and now it's been doing it while shifting between gears. Also it's been difficult to start, it'll just turn over a bunch of times (when that happens I can smell gas pretty bad) and if it finally starts I can hear a ticking noise coming from the engine.

I just pulled the codes for my check engine light and replaced the coolant temperature sensor.

Any help would be awesome!
Thanks!
