First, identify whether you should be replacing the oil pump. If it's just low oil pressure you probably have worn bearings. If you insist on doing just the oil pump: First, drop the pan. You will need to raise or remove the engine to remove the oil pan. Once the pan is down you should see the oil pump pickup syphon hanging down. Drop the oil pump by removing the bolts, then it should just drop in your hands.

NO it does not.
I currenty owne a 99 suburban and owned a 97. The leak is probably from the "weeper" hole on the bottom of the pump and if it is "leaking" then your water pump bearings are going out and you need to replace the pump. Both of my water pumps went out at 70,000 mile--cheap parts.
No you can not. Theres no way to remove it from the top of the tank when the body is in the way.
