    Exclamation Help!!!!!

    ok so my oil light was coming on and I checked it and added a quart but it stayed on, so I put a pressure gauge on it and at idle its runnin about 1-5 psi at 3k rpm its aroung 25psi. So I purchase a new oil pump, pay a garage to install it and clean the pickup line (remove oil pan and clean pickup tube thingy). They get it together..SAME FRIGGIN PRESSURE..so now I am 300 in the hole, they say not to worry about it because the engine is not ticking or making moises like there is no oil, and the said the main bearings looked fine. they also said they found some metal filings in the bottom of the oil pan. WTF could be causing my oil pressure to be so low? the motor runs fine but I am worried I will hafta drop a new motor in this car......HELP!

    I would check your radiator fluid and make sure your head gasket isn't blown and causing oil to leak into the coolant.

    I would also consider changing the filter housing gaskets and possibly the entire filter housing... because that contains the pressure relief spring.
