I think my fuel pump pushrod plug might be leaking a little oil. My question is can I remove that and put teflon tape on it or just try tightening it? If so do I use an Allen wrench or the end of a ratchet to remove/tighten? thanks

Try tightening it with a allen wrench and see if it is loose. Then clean the area and watch to see if that is where the oil is leaking from. If it is still leaking then try resealing the threads.
