It appears that the pump is attached to the outside of the cases, but perhaps there's not enough room to remove and replace with the motor in the car?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Searched through several threads and couldn't find my answer. I have an opportunity to purchase a low mile 1999 manual coupe. The owner says it needs an oil pump seal and states this is an engine out procedure. Is that accurate? It appears that the pump is attached to the outside of the cases, but perhaps there's not enough room to remove and replace with the motor in the car? Other pictures I've seen show a pump inside the crank case, although I don't know how you would diagnose a leaking seal if that's the case. I have a lift and am not afraid to pull the motor, but I'm not excited to split cases. Thanks for any insight!

POST 2Original post

The scavenger pump can be changed with the engine in.

POST 3Original post

Can the seller get u a pic if the leaks location. Oil pump housing leaks r not that common.

POST 4Original post

There might be enough room to pull the main oil pump but I never done it with the engine in the car.

POST 5Original post

It can definitely be done with the engine in the car but you will need to support the engine and take off the the front mount frame.. The scavenger pumps can also be done with the engine in the car.. I have done both..

^^^This^^^ remove rear bumper, support engine (lift table) remove front engine mount (you�ll have to also remove the mounts in the corners as they�re attached to this piece) cat supports etc. the whole face of the engine including the oil pump housing is exposed. You may want to plan ahead and do the water pump/thermostat and pullies/idler, serpentine belt, etc. while you�re there...
