If this is the case?-old definition...The term "wetsumping" is a little misused these days as wetsumping used to refer to proper wet sumping IE whilst the engine was running the scavenge side of the oil pump couldn't keep up
I have had only one oil pump I tested on my rig to prove, to a friend with a combat, that continuous wetsumping was occurring. Unprotected scavenge feed had compromised the return gears...became worse as the oil got hot and thin. Reported that new pump fully restored proper feed/scavenge function.
