When my 88 mx-6 turbo is started cold... oil pressure is fine... however the car warms up and as the car warms up, the oil pressure drops to where it is eventually at 5ish psi at idle and 15-20ish psi during regular driving. I would first assume an oil pump here. My uncle is a retired ford mechanic and says that issue reminds him of the classic ford problem of bad main bearings... anyone else ever had to combat this issue? thanks for the help
