Default Re: yes, your oil pressure light went on due to low oil pressure....

I know it has low oil pressure its not the oil level though. I was asking if anyone knew what might be the problem!

Default Re: Have you checked the oil level?

Yes the oil level is fine, the pressure isn't. so basically its leaking oil from somewhere else, but there is nothing underneath the car. So my qustion is where is it losing pressure from? Has anyone had this problem before.

Default Re: it could be your oil pump, a spun rod or crank bearing a broken oil squirter

I noticed a little bit of oil comming from the clamp that holds on the bypass valve on the right also.

Default If the engine isn't clattering, it could just be a bad oil pressure sending unit.

THat is the sensor that reads the oil pressure.
