Claim 8:
9. A pump stage assembly configured to supply a lubricating oil to at least one consumer, comprising:
a pump housing;
at least two pump suction stages formed by a first assembly comprising at least three intermeshing external gearwheels that lie in a first plane, arranged in the pump housing, and configured to:
draw in the lubricating oil from a first oil container functioning as a dry sump, and
deliver the lubricating oil to a second oil container functioning as an oil tank, and

at least one pump pressure stage formed by a second assembly of two intermeshing external gearwheels that lie in a second plane, wherein the first plane and the second plane lie parallel to one another, arranged in the pump housing, and configured to:
draw in the lubricating oil from the second oil container; and
delivering the lubricating oil to the at least one consumer,

wherein the pump suction stages and the at least one pump pressure stage are arranged spaced apart from one another and have a common drive shaft,
wherein a first delivery volume flow can be drawn in from a first region of the first oil container via a first inlet by a first pump suction stage, and
wherein a second delivery volume flow can be drawn in from a second region of the first oil container via a second inlet by a second pump suction stage,
wherein the first delivery volume flow and the second delivery volume flow intermix in the pump housing before they reach the second oil container via a respective outlet,
wherein the pump stage assembly is configured as part of a plug-in pump so for arrangement on an at least one-stage or two-stage transmission for driving a vehicle, wherein the plug-in pump is flanged to a transmission housing and protrudes into the transmission housing,
wherein the plug-in pump is configured as a substantially cylindrical body,
wherein a hydraulic connection of the pump suction stages and/or the at least one pump pressure stage to the oil reservoir is arranged radially to the respective portion of the pump housing,
wherein a hydraulic connection to a pressure side of the at least one pump pressure stage is provided on a face of an end of the pump housing protruding into the transmission housing.
