This is an update to the results of the repairs. First of all the oil drip via the starter motor is nonexistent. I also removed the fuel pump and placed a new gasket with RTV to prevent any oil leaks. This area is a prime offender of oil leaks as the bolts tend to loosen from the vibration of the motor. The damper plate made a huge difference in that the sound of rattling bolts has been eliminated and the shifting action is nice and smooth. Definitely a worthy winter project.
