Oil Pump Problem?

Big lumps of metals and spanners. Including servicing and fluids.

Thanks Andrew!
King lead off, slackened off oil filter - turned engine over until I could hear oil running out of filter.
Reconnected king lead, started it up and the light went out immediately.

Just going to bleed the system then run it up to temp and check the oil pressure with a wet gauge. Will report back later with findings, but, for now, all is good
