Yes they can be related, but lucky for you this is a very simple fuel system and it is easy to diagnose problems. I would start by un-bolting the fuel transfer pump and check to see if fuel is leaking into the oil pan from it. Next up is the injection pump. If the transfer pump checks out ok then that is the only other thing it can be, unless it is over fueling the engine a ton but it would smoke allot and have poor performance. Hope this helps
