If I was out of warranty...I would check the gasket It is more than likely the problem.
They seem to want to put in a new pump....so who am I to argue

when the problem first showed up this past weekend, I did tighten all of the bolts for the brass tubes leading to the MOP. Two of them were loose. But even after that, it was still leaking, but less. Once it gets looked at Monday, I will report back as to what is causing it to leak.
good to know about the gasket, but it has to be less $$ than a new MOP.

If you have changed your tranny/diff oil, that may also be the source. I started having a smell after changing those and went crazy looking for leaks. Everything looked fine.
Someone on here mentioned that the heavy gear oils take forever to evaporate away and that if you only wipe it clean after the job, the residue will smell for a long time. I sprayed the diff and tranny down with Simple Green, rinsed, and problem solved.
