I am deep into the timing belt replacement procedure. I see signs of some oil seepage around the oil pump sprocket. Oil pump seals seem to be hard to find. Advance Auto Parts seem to have one. Does the seal shown at National Oil Seal 221620: Purchase the best Pump Shaft Seal at Advance Auto Parts (http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/national-oil-seal-221620/18442598-P?searchTerm=oil+pump+seal#fragment-2) look like the right seal?

Does the oil pump sprocket just pull off like the crankshaft sprocket?

Edit: I see 10 mm bolts next to the oil pump sprocket. Do they hold the oil pump sprocket? The 10 mm bolts appear to hold a plate/base/stand which contains the oil pump shaft. Is this right? Does that plate/base/stand have a separate gasket that might need to be replaced?

Well, I have the belt on and the leakage around the oil pump, which I am characterizing as very slight seepage, does not appear to be the cause of leaking under the car. However, I am going run the car for a very temporary time with the timing belt covers off so that I can monitor any leakage anywhere in the timing belt area.

If the pump is leaking around the shaft it needs to be replaced. Beck/Arnley Oil Pump Install Kit 039-6323: Choose the best Oil Pump Gasket/Seal at Advance Auto Parts (http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/beck-arnley-oil-pump-install-kit-039-6323/18024845-P?searchTerm=oil+pump) This has the internal oring for between the 2 halves of the pump and both external orings. One of my external orings cracked and i was losing about a quart a week. But it would only leak when the engine was running.
