It sounds like you solved the oil pressure problem.  With the engine warm the
18 psi isn't bad, and the 25 should be ok.  As for rebuilding the oil pump, it
is located inside the engine, and not accessable without pulling the engine
and removine the pan.  As for a filter, the stock AT4 has a bronze screen
covering the pick up.  To clog it you would need major dirt (big pieces).  If
the squeaking noise was dramaticaly reduced when you took the belt off, it
indicated that there may have been excessive tension on the belt, or perhaps
the alternator pully wasn't exactly paralell with the drive pully.  Of course
you might solve the problem with a new belt, and a little less tension.
