I think it's in the valley at the front of the engine. it isn't hard, you just have to take several other things off to get to it. Once it's replaced, you may have to turn the engine over for a while for it to prime.
Remove oil pan
not sure if there is a cross member in the way of getting the oil pan out or not?? just get under neath and look.......drain the oil obviously......... unbolt the oil pump replace new one....not to hard of a job unless you own a mustang which you have to lift the motor to remove the oil pan ...it just all depends on were the cross member is at...if your oil pump went and you have drove it at all you may wanna uncap one of your main bearing and check it .....look for copper
the oil pump sits on the nose of the crankshaft, behind the timing belt sprocket.
You'll need to drop the oil pan to replace the oil pump. There are only 2 or 3 bolts holding the oil pump once the pan is out of the way. The oil pan is the difficult part. The pump is easy. However... Oil pumps seldom fail. If you have low oil pressure it's usually because of excessive rod and/or main bearing wear. Change to a higher viscosity oil before you try to change the oil pump.
I have a 1993 Dodge Stealth that was running fine then with 5 minutes engine oil blew out under neath the car. their is no oil in the radiator but the car would not start. what happened. If a head gasket blew would n't the oil look milkie color.
Depending on the engine: (According to Haynes Repair Manual) 3.0L - the oil pump is located in the oil pan. You'll have to remove the oil pan, then the oil pump mounting bolt. Lower and remove the oil pump assembly (the oil pump intermediate shaft will come down with the pump). 3.8L - The oil pump is mounted in the oil pump cover/oil filter adapter. The oil pump intermediate shaft is mounted to the timing chain by a clip (I have a 3.0L, so I haven't seen this). You'll have to remove the oil filter, then the oil cooler assembly. Remove the oil pump/oil filter adapter from the front cover (inspect the oil pump gear pocket). Remove the oil pan, the pickup tube bracket nut, and two mounting bolts to remove the oil pump pickup, then lower and remove the pickup. This is probably more info than you wanted, but there you go.
In the oil pan
The oil pump is located near the bottom of the engine. Remove the oil pan from the engine. Remove the retaining bolts to the oil pump. Reverse the process to install the new oil pump.
Remove the oil pan, remove the pump, and replace it.Remove the oil pan, remove the pump, and replace it.
The oil pump on a 1996 dodge 3.3L (and 3.8L) is an integral part of the front timing-chain cover assembly, situated at the crankshaft. and on these motors the pump is driven directly by the crankshaft itself.
Remove the oil pan. The oil pump will be visible. Remove the retaining bolts from the oil pump. Reverse the process to install the new oil pump.
The oil pump is located inside the engine oil pan. The oil pan will need to be dropped to access it.
It is inside the oil pan, near the back of the engine.
