Tough one, might be the pump, the relief valve or worn bearings. I'm thinking worn bearings after it ran out of oil but I've been wrong before. I found pumps on Ebay for about $60. I posted a picture and pointed out the relief valve location. You may want to take out the relief valve on yours before taking it all apart just to check/clean it. To change the pump you will have to remove the timing belt, then unbolt it from the front of the engine and front of the oil pan
You will need to remove the front motor mount by placing a hydraulic jack under the engine (but not on the oil pan), lifting the engine slightly. Remove the front motor mount, and lower the jack (and engine) which will allow you access to the last bolt and allow for ease of removal/installation of the starter.
