The hardware Nissan provides for the oil galley gaskets are the problem, so I'm a little concerned the same hardware is used for the oil pump. The screws don't torque down properly and are prone to backing out, leading to oil leakage around the gaskets or gasket failure entirely. Nissan revised the gaskets and hardware, but it's still a problem. I purchased the EPS oil galley gasket kit because it has improved hardware.
I haven't heard of anyone having hardware issues with the oil pump, so maybe they are different or maybe the mating surfaces are different and it's not an issue. But it has me at least a little concerned.
