More info is needed on this, but I'll try to help you I will assume that this may be a 4.6 Romeo/ Windsor motor and if it is the oil pump is behind the timing cover and would not show a visible leak unless there is oil leaking from the cover gasket this would be the problem not the pump/next if you jack up the car put it on jack stands safely and look under it at the bottom of the engine there are a couple of things that could cause the leaking oil (1) oil filter loose/or to tight if there is oil all over it clean it off with a rag and let the motor run with the oil at the proper level if its loose or a broken O ring on the filter you will see the oil coming out if so change the filter and tighten till a good snug fit is achieved (2) the oil sender unit could be leaking oil from it this sender is screwed into the oil filter adapter and has an electrical plug on it the sealer on the threads may be leaking and can be fixed by cleaning and applying new sealer or the sender may be bad and needs to be replaced is the oil light coming on steady or on and off at times (3) if you clean everything off and then take baby powder and throw it all over these areas the leak will show up in the powder if you can't find it , if you see oil and antifreeze the green stuff leaking from the same spot behind the oil filter the adapter gasket is leaking be careful here because your cooling system can be clogged causing this gasket to leak go slowly and post back to me what you have done a step by step procedure will narrow this down to the cause I'm a taxi mechanic in N.Y.C. and 4.6's are what the crown Victoria's and Lincoln town cars have it's the same motor you must tell me if this is your motor if not I will still be able to help you further good luck in your search for the leak and do it safely a good jack and stands no junk stuff you'll be under the car and need assurance that you will be safe LATER MAN!

I would check first to see where the leak is, make sure the pan bolts are tight & if it still leaks, it should be resealed, with new oil pan gasket set. Hope this helps, Rick

It's a bad bearing in the water pump and since the its a OEM part and installed by the dealer it will be under warranty,you should take it back to the dealer where the work was done.

Mine was doing the same. I used 3M double sided tape and it worked perfectly.
SOURCE: i have to replace the oil pump, but...
Why replace the oil pump? That won't make noises go away or cause noises. Your mechanic should be able to answer theses questions, as to the cause of noises.
SOURCE: 2002 ford mustang gt had ticking noise in motor then no oil pressure
You have had the engine oil pump fail, the tick was caused low oil pressure, DO NOT DRIVE THIS unitl a shop can see what has happened or you will destroy the engine, a $3000.00 repair.
