Depends what year it is after 2008 the pump had been modified but i dont think thats the concern here as even a oil pump failure would not burn holes in the rocker cover manifold, My diagnosis of the failure is based on experience not conjecture.
As the original poster has not replied to this i can only assume he has gone elsewhereor tken it to a garage for a new engine

I understand the op’s failure is unlikely to be a timing belt issue, but to tell them they don’t have to worry about a potential engine failure because of the age of the vehicle is wrong as all ages of the 2.7 tdv6 are at risk if fitted with the old style oil pump, and no looking at vin numbers can check it so the only way to be sure is to inspect the oil pump

Probably get a spare while he is there.
I had a look around the net and this problem is unique, I couldn't be that bothered to look too deeply into it but something to do with EGR valve and burning a hole in the inlet manifold or something, oh hang on, I'm bored again
