Checking the oil level. Rag I wiped dipstick on had a slight fuel smell from oil on dipstick. (Rag was clean and no fuel smell. I cleaned dip stick again with new rag that had no fuel smell before wiping off dipstick. )
Checked clear hose routed from the fuel pump to the carburetor. No fuel in it. I pulled off the clear hose at mechanical fuel pump and confirmed nipple wasn't blocked.
No fuel in bilge
Engine running fine. No stalling or sputtering.
Engine crankcase oil level is constant. It's not "making oil".
Fuel pump is virtually brand new. Installed July 2016.
Before I pull off fuel pump, looking at what else it might be that is giving oil a slight fuel smell. What else, besides a bad fuel pump?

Thanks in advance. I have learned so much from folks in this forum!
