i did a balance shaft delete on my 98 gsx last week after one spun a bearing also lost a quart of oil, which while driving and new gaskets still is spraying oil could the balance shaft jumping around ruined my oil pump and make it so it leaks? - looks to be coming from around oil pump not positive
 
It's a possibility, did you replace the crankshaft seal?
 
i have the gaskets and seals going to replace today didn't before since they couldn't get them in for a week, but can the oil pump leak or does it have to be a seal i just don't want to spend 200 unless i have to and don't want to have to take it apart again
 
Deleting your balance shafts causes your oil pressure to raise, so any seal that was on it's way out would probably end up finally blowing out after the install.
