Sounds to me that fixed the problem with a new fuel pump. JMHO, but, the oil pump should be fine, you didnt run it that long with the gas/ oil mix. The spray couldve come past the timing cover seal at the crank snout, possibly the viscousity of oil was so thin that it got past the seal....just keep an eye on the area and see if it happens again. Then look further

Others will chime in if im incorrect
