Yes and no, mostly no. The pump mounts to the block and inside the crankcase is the oil sump. If the pump is not sealed to the block, oil splashing around inside the crankcase can leak at that junction. This by itself will have no effect on oil pressure....until, that is, enough oil is lost from that leak or others or internal consumption that there is not enough to keep the oil pump pickup immersed. At this point you are very low on oil, like 2-3Qts down. Then oil pressure will definitely be affected and so will engine longevity. Minor seepage at the fuel pump is not much of an issue except cosmetically as long as you watch the oil level.
