No the oil pump is driven by the gear that also drives the distributor.I think my description might have been a bit vague. Yes the actual pump is internal but there is a housing behind the gear wheel which is bolted to the engine block with a gasket behind it these are the bolts that can come loose the seal is on the shaft of the drive and I believe it is the same seal as the camshaft. This gearwheel/drive is about level with the w/pump.
Regards Paul.
