I did have some blow-by coming from the draft tube recently. After a long drive (from Homecoming), I stopped at a gas station and filled up. Another driver saw a puddle under my truck and when I looked, it was under the right side of the engine, near the draft tube. But, by that time, I did not see anything dripping. So, I could not say 100% positive it was my truck, but it seemed logical.
I checked the puddle and it did smell just like the solvent oil I have in my engine. When I got home and parked (out in the gravel near my shed), I put a slab of cardboard underneath to see if anything was leaking. Next morning, there was a small puddle underneath the road draft tube.
Other the other hand, last time SWEET and I checked compression, it seemed to us that we had good compression on all cylinders (100-ish range). Might need to recheck that.
Do you have a procedure for a leak-down test? Would you recommend that?
As for the earlier questions on the fuel pump brands:
2 x Advance Auto (unknown maker)
1 x AutoZone (unknown make)
1 x NAPA (unknown make)
1 x Glass bowl type from Classic Chevy Truck Parts
Will absolutely do the electric fuel pump fix, but would like to examine the possibility that it's related to the rings.
Thanks for the help guys.
Jim
