Default Yet another problem...

Scared the shit outta me today when i look down at my gauges and see my oil pressure gauge at low... I look under the hood, seems to be no leaks, there is nothing leaking down off the car...


What do you guys think?

crawl underneath and look around the oil filter area and see if the plug fell off the sending unit

dude, jack up the car and look around. Youve probably got a female ended plug hanging, how many different open male ended conectors can there be down there? Should take all of 30 seconds.

Were you moving when you looked at the oil pressure or were you stopped? I hope you were moving...
