I had a leak on an old engine from here. I went in from the sump, removed the oil pump complete with shaft and gear. Cleaned the internal surface well with brake clean and smeared a fillet of RTV type gasket goo around the perimeter. Then reassembled. It worked.
I had to make 2 tools, a doctored spanner to get the nut off at the top of the oil pump, and i carved a piece of hardwood (carved with angle grinder) to sit in the oil pump which with a shifter meant the nut could be undone. All made in less than 5 mins.
I didnt think of belting it out.
