Will bad oil pump do this?

My SR20DET ran for the first time in months today, and it was freakin awesome.. except for the oil pouring out of the motor. It looks like it is coming out from the front cover.

Will a bad oil pump do this, or just a bad seal?

Fall break is over and im going back to school in a few hours. Looks like i wont be drivin till winter break!

Can you be more specific to where the oil is coming from? to me it sounds like the oil pump is working just fine, but instead sounds like a seal is leaking.

PICS!!!

remove the crank pully and lnspect for cracks

if the front seal is damaged it will leak

Cheap fix and 20 min job for the seal

Oil pump- $150 and requires pulling the engine, head and oil pan

my car was leaking a shitload of oil when the front main seal started going out. pull off your crank pulley and inspect the seal.

I kind of wished i did that yesterday. I'm 200 miles away from home at school now. heh.

im only freaking out because my friend had his oil pump bearings go back a few years ago and oil spewed out from the front cover like mine.
