Lost oil pressure....where to start Took my car for a little ride today and I started losing oil pressure and then finally done to 0. Car was running good with no odd ball noises. I'm pretty scared right now. What all should I check? Thanks for any help.

Oil level is fine. I checked before I left and it's still the same. Trip was only about 15 miles total. I did some searching on here and it's sounding like the pump is a good possibility. The engine only has about 2000 miles on it but the new engine (gunk) could be plugging the pump up.

Could be the pump? You say it has been rebuilt. What kind of machine work was done, if any at all. I had a worn out engine with too much bearing/rod clearance loose pressure at idle but only when the engine was hot. Though i have had pumps do the same thing. There shouldnt be any type of new engine gunk causing the problem, maybe some moly lube discoloration!
