Engine Oil Pump - Inspect
A failed engine oil pump may result in a seizure of the
crankshaft. A failed engine oil pump may result in
contaminating the engine lubricating system.
Visually inspect the oil pump for leaks or damage. If
abnormal noise is observed in the oil pump area with
the engine running, there may be a problem with the
engine oil pump.
