low oil pressure at idle
My oil pressure is like 10psi at idle. The pressure line is teed from the oil sender line. I have a H224. I'm pretty sure that it too low. I have a tiny oil leak coming from my oil pan but I don't that is the reason for the low pressure. What else could be wrong?

if you are measuring after the T and at the end of a -3AN line, it will be about 10psi at idle. otherwise, need to check before the T at the stock oil sender location or check there is no small plug in the line,

i have about 15psi after hard runs
20psi usually

i think your fine, as long as the pressure increases as you drive and doesnt drop to 10psi when your at like 6 grand then your ok....
