i have a 96 3.8 camaro. took it to the shop cuz the oil pressure was dropping. the car itles at 30psi then as the car gets warm it would drop to 10psi. but the car ran normal! at first i thought it was the oil pump but it wasnt so they thought there might be a clog so they took it apart and found out the crankshaft bearing was bad so they replaced it and put the car back together. we started the car and it itles at 30psi then as the car gets warm it would drop to 10psi (samething that was happening when i took it in) so i take it home to look everywhere for leaks and on the way home the rockers start clicking. now my friend thinks it could be the piston seals and the motor not getting enough pressure. what do yall think?
