I noticed that an oil slick is forming on the block behind the vaccuum pump.

I guess the angle the engine is mounted at along with the intermediate shaft
oiling groove is causing a bit of oil to get out of the block where the pump
is attached.

Is there something that can be done to minimize this mess?
