Yeah - you can get the timing belt replaced at the same time for almost no additional labor.
Before you jump to the conclusion that your oil pump is bad, I recommend finding where your leak(s) actually is (are). Crawl under the car and follow the trail. The valve cover gaskets are common leak points, as are the front crank seal and cam seals.
