oil pressure problem. please help.
I have been having a problem with my oil pressure dropping alot when i brake really hard. If I run the car hard then brake the oil pressure drops to like 5psi. The oil pressure is fine when idling and just normal crusing. What could be the problem. I need to fix this quickly. Thanks

The hard stoppong may cuase the oil to move away from the pickup, cuasing the low pressure. Sorta like how gas moves away from the sender causing the guage to move on hard braking and acceleration.
