that is a pulse fuel pump, if its leaking oil out of the brass breather you are overfilled with oil or have excessive crankcase pressure due to a bad headgasket

Well not really. But with a blown head gasket which is common on these engines there is a good chance running the engine without oil which will destroy the engine if not caught in time.

no damage just drain some out. be sure to check if there is gas in the oil causing it to be overfilled. you can smell it on dipstick and with a match the oil on dipstick will light up. if it does you need to change oil and repair carb.
