    So...when I start the car a little blue smoke comes out but nothing really after that. It'll sit around 50psi for a few miles but once she warms up I can watch it slowly drop...it gets scary low too...probably around 5-10psi when idling...which btw it is around 1200rpms since my IAC is bad...and I am kinda afraid to replace it and let it idle even LOWER IF I give it gas though like in traffic, off from a stop light it'll go back up to almost 40-50psi, but slowly drop back down. There are no visible oil leaks coming from anywhere either. Granted I haven't check the oil pan...gonna do that tomorrow. Any ideas guys? She runs fine otherwise...no SES lights except for my IAC and No Converter codes. Could a bad seal on my valve covers cause a loss in oil pressure? I can pop those on and off really quickly so that would nice if it is a possibility. I have a video but it is over 100MB which is too big for photobucket...gonna try to get a shorter clip today.

    TIA guys!!

    btw...WAHOO!! 2,000 posts
