Can a faulty fuel pump cause gas to get into the crankcase? If so, how? Furthermore, if I need to rebuild the pump, where do you recommend sending for a rebuild kit?

If diaphragm leaks, gas will flow down into the oil.
A carb issue can sometimes cause similar.

Agreed. Searches are easy. Gaining from the experience of others is what forums are for.
