[T3] Removing Oil Pump - In car

[Keith Park]

Pump cover should have NO gasket, there is a gasket maker that is used, cant
remember the name at the time but it’s a thin
Coating that mushes out properly when torqued and seals properly, the cover
should also be planed smooth.

Hello Type 3 folks,

So, I'm dealing with a low oil pressure issue and have narrowed it down to
the pump.  I must have used the wrong gasket or maybe a pump gear is loose.
Is it possible to do this in-car rather than pull the engine?  I'm thinking
yes but I'm really not looking forward to it.

Any advise or tips would be greatly appreciated.
