fishinic: the oil pump is on the end of the crankshaft at the front.
you may have a clogged up screen at the bottom of the oil pick up tube which goes to th bottom of the oil pan.

This should be the oil pump. Do not attempt to start or run vehicle. It will cause engine damage.

Make sure there is not a problem with what drives the pump either. It could be gears etc.

I'm not sure about yours, but on many vehicles, the oil pump is driven by the distributor shaft.
