For a loss of oil pressure?!? I don't think so....

Check the sending unit first. Also don't trust the stock gauge, they are proven to be very inaccurate. You want to use an good after market gauge.

i guess i meant to say that if they was a visual indication of oil leaking those would be the prob. i definetely agree the sending unit and get a good mech gage.

zebo, what you are missing is there is NO applied oil pressure in these areas (by oil pump that is) and will have NO effect on oil pressure.
