oil pressure?

whats a good oil pressure my lt1 has an oil leak at the intake gasket and maybe more but thats the main one and i was wondering if this has anything to do with me not having that great of pressure it goes to about 40-42 at most while driving but then goes down a good bit if at idle after it's been running any input would be great thanks

Re: oil pressure?

rule of thumb is 10psi for every 1,000rpm. if your around 40psi while driving thats good.

Re: oil pressure?

The intake gasket leak will not cause a drop in oil pressure. Of course, unless all your oil leaks out and you have none to make any pressure.
