Is there a way to test the oil pump for leakage? When I installed it, I primed it and verified it was squirting oil but it was a used ebay pump

I haven't seen the pumps leak and I have only heard of the check valves getting stuck closed.
Short of pulling the rotary cover I am not sure.

Its the craziest thing. Since I put the oil shutoff valve on the pump line I haven’t lost anymore oil. Last year it emptied the tank into the engine in a week. Could there be a leak in the rotary valve based on the position the crank stops in? Just trying to figure this out

Finally got around to working on it. I removed the oil pump and removed the valve. I inspected the oil pump and put a couole of psi pressure to see if it was leaking at the seal, nothing. I reinstalled it with new line and no cutoff valve. I bled it and ran the pump using a drill to ensure it was pumping, worked as advertised. I installed a shutoff valve in the rotary valve line. should know today if it is leaking

How do you replace those check valves on the oil pump? Are they replaceable?

Update, the oil pump is leaking into the engine some way. The other line has a shutoff valve. I noticed the oil leverl beliw the mark I made. I fired it up and it smoked like a freight train and had oil coming out the exhaust. I guess I am in the market for a new oil pump

Searching for check valve tests…apparently they can leak into the engine.

Final update, got my new pump and check valves, removed the old one. When I put a couple of psi into the oil inlet one of the check valves was definitely leaking. Tested the new one…it was not leaking. Reinstalled should fix the issue
