Yes.... yes they can.... all this was crammed in the pickup tube. My oil pressure measured only marginally weak, but I had battled inconsistent vanos operation and I had a rattley noise on startup that I eventually figured out was the oil pump. Take good care of your N52 belt system. The most common cause of failure seems to be from a leaking oil cooler gasket or OFHG. Oil gets on the belt and lets it wander off the pulley.
