ok so say i was going to install a pressure gauge. Where would I
install it? Can i simply disconnect the oil feed line and put a
pressure gauge "inline"?

Also if there is an air leak in the line, would it stand to reason
that I would see evidence of it every time it fired up, or is it
something I would only see when it faltered and failed to fire?

There is a port on the pump (has a plug in it) where a gauge
gets screwed in.

Might not see evidence of a leak every time.

Maybe stop by the library and see if they have a book
on domestic oil burners.
