The bit that connects the gear stick to the gearbox.
Or it could be the pump.

Why did you think it was coming through the fuel pump?? If you think logically about it, if you were getting oil in your fuel pump your engine would be running very poorly, since oil would be getting into the mixture, and your sump properly would have exploded by now, because you'd be getting petrol in an area where a lot of metal is meshing and grinding together (the gearbox).:'( right fitted new fuel pump and i still have a leak what else couldit be :'(
Best thing to do when trying to find a leak is to clean the area where the leak is coming from (either a pressure washer, or preferably just some soapy water/Gunk and a hose). Run the engine for a few minutes and see where there is fresh oil.
I suspect either the tappet covers, or the gasket between the engine block and gearbox (I've never had a mini that didn't leak from this area).
