that is called the weep hole, when gas comes out from that hole you start weeping because the pump is bad. gas can also be filling the oil pan and diluting your oil, so you need to drain and change the oil / filter as well as the fuel pump.

yes and they can pump oil out that hole too, i had 2 new pumps in a row do that! adjusting the screw didn't have anything to do with that...just a coincidence!!!

Change the pump, it's N.F.G.
Change your oil too. Good chance you got gas in your oil now.
