tapping noise, oil leak at oil pump

2 issues on my 77ems rebuild need attention. One is an oil leak that seems to be collecting on the four bolts at the oil pump. I cranked them down a bit more this weekend, and it seems to have helped except for one bolt that may need some more tightening. There is a cylinder on the bottom side of the pump that has a cotter pin at the opening. Most of the oil is collecting in this area. What is this and any ideas on how to fix the problem?
The other issue is a bit of tapping coming from (i believe) the top end of the engine at idle. I had Dan McDonald help me install the rebuilt engine this past spring. He noticed this as well the first time we fired up the engine, but we didn't have a chance to investigate it further before he moved up to OH. I'm hoping this can be addressed without pulling the block again! Besides that it seems to run out fine and has good power and the new S&S header sounds so nice!!
thanks,
scott k.
