Where does he get the idea that the oil pump is bad? Has he used a mechanical gauge to verify oil pressure? How low did the oil level get? Does he know there is no permanent internal damage? I don't know what this engine has for mileage but I seriously doubt it has 600K.

Good day

Thank you for your advice. Accordingly it was not the the oil pump if
which has been replaced and us a good thing.

The problem was the TOP GASKET that was cracked.

Again I need to say thank you guys.

Kind regards
