transit 97 2.5 d non turbo rear wheel drive, servo pump seized on back of alternator, replaced with new unit worked perfect lasted 10 minuts, old unit had oil in no leaks could old oil be causing it, not changed for 3 years, poor but only does about 2000 miles a year, new unit got hot straight away as if not cooling, could it be the oil pump, oil light not on runs ok, does it just need an oil change or is there a common reason for these units to fail, help is apreciated, need to cure the cause, this must have happened to some one. thanks mark
