When its cold what kind of pressure do you get? If you get decent pressure cold and then it drops when the oil warms up it could be the O-ring on the pick up tube in the oil pump not creating a solid seal. Its a very common problem because they are pretty sensitive to any knicks or pinches. Hope you get it figured out.
