It's a _fuel pump_. It must use crank case pressure pulses to work a
diaphragm. Gentle pressure on the input didn't cause any air out of the
fuel ports, so the diaphragm is probably not ruptured. And the mystery of
oil in the float bowl is not any closer to being solved sigh.

Oil in the float bowl and everywhere else sounds like somebody (over)pickled
the engine for long-term storage. If it was a '67 MG engine, I'd tell you to
look at the EGR valve. They tended to convert themselves into oil pumps that
fed into the intake manifold. g
