    oil in carb breather ?

    I posted below about a fuel sheen on water but had no response so i went out and took cowl off and found light oil running down vro fuel line feed and some on the oil feed line, also breather had not quite a teaspoon of pure oil laying in bottom. It looks like the torx screws are to tight on pump housing and have cracked. Oil tank is half full and the bulb was hard as a rock when I checked (oil bulb) is that normal and any opinions on why carbs getting loaded with oil?
