Hey when you get some more pics, be sure to turn on MACRO (a little flower should show up on your screen, and look in your manual to see how to turn it on) because you're trying to zoom in too much and the images are so blurry you can barely see whats going!

But damn man, that sucks, guess you need a new engine...=*(

Someone tell me how one of there oil pumps fail. If you take the cover off you see how simple the design is. It could self destruct due to lack of oil, but that would be caused by something else since the pump is self-lubricating when it's doing the job it's intended to do. I don't see the gears being eaten up until after many 100sK miles down the road. Were you spraying or did the previous owner spray?

I think the generally accepted definition of oil pump failure is actually the relief spring failing. Either the spring breaks or the valve otherwise sticks open. While this is necessary to divert oil at WOT, as soon as you get back down to low rpms, all the oil will still be diverted to dump back into the pan and not routed through the engine.
