tonite we went to tomball in the bug and my oil pressure drops to about 5 pds when were at a stop light idling so i thought it was low on oil so i added a qt then on the way home it blew all the oil out of the vent tube all over the brand new deck lid we made all over the back of the car , the motor does not like extra oil in it at all,anyways we got back int he car after we stopped and checked it, and it seems to be fine but its weired i have 5 pds of oil pressure at idle and 50 pds of oil pressure when were driving ,any suggestions
low pressure at idle can mean a couple things. What's your idle speed? How hot is your oil temp? is it a new oil pump? was it align bored? is your oil pressure relief valve working properly? etc...
