LT1 urgent help needed !!
Ok so, I decided I would clean up the leaves n crap that got in my engine bay when I noticed this...
Now my car has had a low running idle after warming up since i got it about a month ago, and Im wondering if this may be the cause? also it looks like oil is in it is that normal? its not leaking out of it, instead just seems to be sitting in there. my oil pressure goes way down after warm up as well but the engine itself doesnt make any noise and it seems to be the oil pressure sensor misreading according to the local mechanic.
And looks like ill be picking up a new TPS as you can see..its missing a piece on both screw holes

I havnt been able to drive it long enough to let it warm up enough (thats when it usually does it) but the gauge seemed to stop bouncing like it was.

So I drove it to the gym and then to work, and the car seems to breath way better than it did, and the oil pressure sits where it should as I can see at about 10-12 psi at warm.. all seems well
