Syth oil will make any minor oil leak 10 times worse when the oil is at normal temp, and forget about it if you put a Teflon additive to even regular motor oil!
Unfortunally you will likely be dropping off the pan to clean out what's now holding the oil pump check ball open to some degree and also to check bearings out!
If I where you and you end up pulling the pan off I would get some aluminum window screen and make up and tack weld up a support that will give you about a 6 inch circle of the screen and then hose clamp it to the pick up tube.
The stock pumps screen mesh is too course to keep tiny bits of crap out of the pump and the only way to cure it is witha finner and larger area screen!
