By chance is the pump a HV???

If you are thinking that it will pump out the pan - it ain't gonna happen and especially at the type of drive OP said it is doing it in.



Good point in that its occuring under heavy braking which of course is low RPM.
But an HV pump CAN contribute to oil starvation when other factors are right (low oil pan capacity, poor drainback, excess windage) I have had it happen.
It ain't HELPING the issue thats for sure. Unless absolutely necessary (bearing clearance) I would remove it. Period.
I would also address the other factors.
