Where is the oil pump installed?

[StDante]

The oil pump is installed inside the engine, within the oil pan. Symptoms of a faulty oil pump include: 1. Weak acceleration with jerking during sudden acceleration; 2. Difficulty starting, requiring prolonged key turning; 3. A humming noise while driving; 4. Illuminated engine warning light; 5. Engine vibration. The functions of the oil pump are: 1. To deliver oil to various friction points in the engine, ensuring oil circulation in the lubrication system for optimal engine lubrication; 2. The oil pump consists of a gear pump and gear pump body, where the camshaft drives the rotation of the pump's driving gear during engine operation; 3. The gear flings oil along the pump's inner wall from the inlet to the outlet, creating low pressure and suction that draws oil from the oil tank into the inlet; 4. As oil accumulates at the outlet, pressure increases, forcing oil to reach all friction points for pressurized lubrication.
