The oil pump is located inside the oil pan mounted on the engine block. To access the oil pump the oil pan must be removed. Have an oil pressure test run to make sure the pump is defective before you go to all the trouble and expense of removing the oil pan.
The oil pump is inside the engine, generally not accessible to the average do-it-yourselfer.
