Extremely rare to have a bad oil pump, however a sludged up engine with plugged up pick up screen is common. Or a loose crankshaft pully from improper tighten [after a guide or front main seal replacement] thus no/low oil pressure.

Its held in by 4 (12mm) bolts.
Be sure and replace the seals on the back of the casing.
