Low Oil Pressure

Mr.Bumbles · 12-13-2005, 10:56 PM

I was wondering if anyone might know why I have low oil pressure (yes I have enough oil in my car)? When the engine is cold and idling the oil gage reads about 40-50, but after it warms up it drops down to about 5. Then when i am driving it only goes up to 30 if I'm lucky. I was thinking that my pump was going out on me, but I was hoping it might be something less expensive to replace. By the way i have a 87 supra turbo all stock, which I just bought at an auction a week ago.
