As with most engines, drop the oil pan and the oil pump is right there. You may need to lift the engine a little to get the oil pan past the cross bar, so you may need to disconnect the engine from the motor mounts and lift 4 or 5 inches. Now for the free advice: If you have low oil pressure it's almost certain the rod and/or main bearings. I don't advise replacing the oil pump unless you're doing an entire engine rebuild. Pressurized oil is forced between the rod/main bearings and the crankshaft to provide a film of oil that the bearings can ride on. Theoretically, the bearings never touch the crankshaft, provided that everything is working properly. In an engine that does not have worn bearings, that film of oil will keep the two pieces of metal (bearing and crankshaft) apart. Before you replace the oil pump or rebuild the engine, try a heavier grade engine oil. If you've been using 5W15, change to 10W30 or even heavier. If the oil pressure comes back up, you know it's the bearings and not the oil pump.
