I've got a braided feed line for my turbo that was unknowingly draped across one of my manifolds. The oil got real hot, hot to the point that the oil pressure went down to ~20. Normally idles 40+ hot. Once it got real low, I shut down and rolled into a gas station to let it cool down. Turned the car back on in about 15 minutes and it was still sitting around 25-35idle but the needle was spiking? like moving around a little bit spiratically. When I drove it home I noticed the oil pressure was getting around 15-20 maybe a little less at idle. It was sitting around 20-25 when I rolled into the throttle just a little bit 1500-3000rpm slowly and the oil pressure was going down slowly as I rolled into the throttle slowly. I let off the throttle and the pressure jumped back up to 30-35 and settled again around 20... I'm thinking the oil getting real hot like it did melted something... say the O-ring on the pump maybe?? I'm hoping it's not a bearing, the motor isn't making any noise at all. It's just the oil pressure thats off. I've already ruled out the sender, changed the oil... I didn't change the filter though, maybe the hot oil melted the inside of the filter? Somebody help please!!!!

Sorry for long post.

change the oil right away and see how it looks. If it is spiking, I would venture to guess that there might be a small leak somewhere?

oil only had about 50 miles on it, it looked fine when it came out.
I put brand new oil in it and it's still acting up.
