oil pump

I took my 99' stroker to the mechanic he said my oil leak was from the back of the oil pump, my question is should I buy an after market pump or an OEM?

Sounds fishy to me.
Are you talking about the Low Pressure Oil Pump or your High Pressure Oil Pump?
Aftermarket for both but if he is talking LPOP you need a new mechanic.
HPOP go with Adreniline, SRP1.1, or T-500.

I took it to two separate mechanics they both said he was coming of the high pressure oil pump.

You don't need to replace your pump, it is probably just an o-ring. If you want you can give us a call and we can walk you through it.

Now there is a good guy. He could have sold you a pump but instead he's willing to help you fix yours at no charge.

If both of those mechanics told you that you need to replace your HPOP, they're not familiar with the 7.3 Powerstroke. I think you need to find a new mechanic.

You need a new mechanic. You probably just need new orings.
