"above the put"???

Check your crank for excessive end play to make sure that it's not a 
major engine problem. Then see if you can reach and tighten the oil 
pump cover nuts. Are they still all there?

BE VERY CAREFUL! Your engine should have small (6mm) studs here, the 
nuts have 10mm hexes. Don't overtighten or you will break them off 
and you REALLY don't want that to happen.
