It may be easy, if you can get away with just replacing the dented part:
http://www.4wheelparts.com/jeep-part...pid=JEE3226242 and if you
can get the relief piston out:

motor mounts.

This would be visible from the outside wouldn't it?

That would mean he could easily determine if the low oil pressure is
from damage or just wear...

Hi Mike,
I doesn't take much of a hit to jam the piston. You may not be able to
see it. But a thirty second test would to remove that plug, spring and see
if you can get the piston out. Out in the desert I drilled a hole in the
other end and took a nail and beat it back so a friend could get back home
before the oil filter blew off, again. Of course plugging that hole with a
screw.
