If the old Caddy's oil pump was losing its prime, it probably meant that the gasket between the bottom of the pump housing and the bottom cover was leaking. When you put in a new one, you normally put a little grease on the impeller gears to help it prime itself and to keep it from wearing before it picks up the oil.

Go ahead and fix the gaskets, you'll be glad you're rid of the irritation. The oil pump should keep its prime if you don't take it off, and if you did take it off it would more than likely prime itself in a few seconds even if you didn't prime or grease it.
