Sorry, I'm not a mechanic... Is it the standard installation of a catch-can?

An important point, because GM is stating their product can cause catastrophic engine failure.

If so, have an attorney write a letter stating the failure was due to a known oil pump failure and threaten legal action if it is not taken care of. Letters of this nature should not cost too much and may be worth a try! If they still deny the claim you don't have to follow through with further action unless you want. Finding an attorney that specializes in this type of issue would be helpful. Good luck however you decide to handle it.
I would have the oil pump checked at a reputable shop that specializes in GM performance vehicles. If the fuel pump has failed, I'd get a notarized statement from the shop.
