It's probably cheaper to find a used pump that fits and rebuild it, than to buy a new one (about $500). If you were able to drive it home, you're probably OK, but I would still look in the pan.

I'll have to read through it for tonight's evening reading since I am at work now.
I have noticed that my oil pressure is lower than normal after freeway cruising. I wonder if a piece broke off internally earlier and is restricting the oil pump. I guess pump breakage is just a degenerative resultant effect.
Worst case scenario, if it's bad, it's time to yank the 300D motor and drop it in!
