Scratches on the cover means the pump wasn't pumping much oil. Not enough
lubrication so the gears scratched the cover. The pump wasn't sucking.
There is a leak in the intake area. When the engine warms up the leak
becomes worse. It sucks more air than oil. Perhaps you have a crack in
the pump housing. Or a crack in the block somewhere?
