No, the oil pump will not cause a vacuum in the crankcase.

so what will cause a vacuum on the crankcase

I seriously doubt that you have a vacuum in the crankcase, you most likely have a pressure build up which is normal on these scooters.

But, if I am wrong about there being a vacuum. then that would imply that the vent on the cam cover is sealed as well as the valves and you are trying to pull air into the combustion chamber past the rings from the crankcase side.
