Oil pressure low and noise... Ok, since yesterday my oil pressure has been sitting around 20 when warmed up and at idle. Also, I'm getting a "fluttering" type noise (like air leak) from the engine bay which progressively gets worse as the RPMs go up, but I haven't tried to diagnose the problem thoroughly yet due to time constraints. But, I will look at it this weekend.
My oil level is good and I had the oil pump swapped out for an LS6 pump about 6 months ago. But, now I'm getting this issue? Anybody ever heard of this before?

is the flutter the header AIR check valves - do you have block-off gaskets drilled 5/16? No sure about low oil pressure... ordinarily it likely be a bad pump or o-ring issue but since you replaced this 6 months ago and it has worked OK, it is likley not this.
