The oil pump is like the human heart, parts start wearing out and leaking after 40+ years but you don't know you have a problem until, possibly, it's too late.

Steve, the three screws holding the pump can be tough. Maybe do it on a warm engine with a good fitting impact driver. I'd try changing the pressure switch first as that will be quick and on the pump anyway.
Steve, I'm out the other side, about 1/2 mile north of the Thames bridge.Trig, You've done more than me and I haven't had to use it on the cover, but I have found them to be the most stubborn screws on the whole bike, particularly if someone has already been at them and are slightly mangled. Most of the engines I have done have been well neglected and butchered by previous owners and maybe lying in a shed for 20 years. Nothing else has worked for me.
