John the HP pump is near the alternator and is driven from the camchains. If this is the pump you mean then a special tool is required to hold the camchain gearwheel in place whilst the pump is removed.
There have been a few reports of O rings leaking on the pump top plate. Haven't done the job myself so not sure if you can get to the plate with the pump in situ or not. Haven't heard of them being replaced in situ, but that's not to say it can't be done.
The engine is a BMW M47R, although a few cars were built with a Fiat diesel in them.
If you've got one of those then ignore everything I've said.
