If you can't see separate oil dipstick (usually has an yellow plastic handle), then your oil level dipstick is connected to oil filler cap. When you unscrew the oil cap you'll be able to see the dipstick and level meter.
Depending on oil type (IE: synthetic, etc) this is normal. If using conventional oil then I'd be concerned. To replace oil pump you'll need to remove pan and it is bolted to lower part of engine.
Typically if you need to raise the engine a little, or adjust it's position with a jack the best and safest way is to use a chunky piece of wood at least the same length as the oil pan and wide enough to rest on the jack saddle as a load spreading member between the jack and oil pan. Never try to support the entire weight of the engine this way, it will most likely deform the oil pan.
although I am not familiar with this particular engine my son's Mazda Miata had oil in the plug holes and it only required a new valve cover gasket to fix it.
