I bet it may have been a little loose and it sucked up in there on the hard runs. Be sure you put the new oring on the pickup tube and not inside the oil pump to install

So you'll want to use a light coat of grease on the outer circumference of the new o-ring. So this will help it slide into place and minimize risk of pinching it again.

So you'll also want to hold the pickup tube up against the pump housing while tightening the bolt, not using the bolt to pull the tube into place.

So good luck!

That's good advice.
