Hello, You may just have a oil sending unit leaking its right behind the intake.....easy to change just screws in like a spark plug......however you will need the scoket for oil sending units.......Thanks Joey......Thats why your oil pressure goes up & down

already checked that, the oil presure is fairly stable about 35 psi under load and only droping to 20 -25 psi at Idle. Normally at idle in gear it drops as low as 5-10 psi and the slight knock could be heard???
