You can wet test the oil pressure. If it's within specs, the pump is fine.

If the oil pressure is low, it gets a bit more complicated. It might be the pump, or it might be excessive clearances or a leaking or blown out oil passage plug in the engine.

Regardless, the first step should be to simply test the oil pressure against the specification.
