Well it has finally happened, My first, seemingly major problem with my car. This weekend I went to visit my Family and take the Camaro out for a spin (it's stored with them).

I get in and it starts right up, however at the end of the 1/4 mile driveway I notice oil presure is sitting at roughly 8.

The car was running just fine and I could detect no smells. The only thing that I found was a trace amount of oil on the front of the intake gasket, nothing that would indicate a large enough leak to drop presure so far.

If everybody could shoot me some ideas on what to possibly look for/do, I would appreciate it. BTW, all maitence is very up to date and it is rarly driven, oil was clean.

Thanks for any help, Adam

Assuming that the oil is full, the first thing I would do is hook up a separate oil pressure gauge (mechanical preferably) and verify if the oil pressure is really that low. Quite often it's a bad gauge or sender.

Adam, This really should be in LT1 Tech, and since you have the same thread already going there i will close this one.
Thanks.
