The oil pump is located inside the engine. Down in the oil pan. It sounds like you need to replace your valve cover gasket. I would make sure to buy Fel Pro. They are the best gaskets in my opinion.
I hope this helps you! If so please click YES! Thanks!
it is best to remove the pwr st. pump and vaccum pump assy as a unit which is held to the front cover w/2 15mm head bolt and a support bracket on the bottom bolt next to the block @ the pwr st pump. and disconnect all lines. get the seal kit and replace them @ this time. if you don't and just replace the pump you will probably develop an oil leak where the shaft meshes w/ the adapter.
Change the oil! The 318Cu in V8 (5.2 liter) engine has a problem with sludge build up on the oil pump pickup tube screen. This engine requires oil changes at or before 3500 miles with a high detergent oil.
