Hey everyone I'm new here . I just bought a 96 eclipse gst spyder at an auto auction . I noticed bringing it home the oil pressure seemd a tad low ( just above the first line on the oem guage). I took it a few hours ago and got the oil changed now at idle it takes 2-3 minutes after start up to show any pressure at all even then its low enough to throw the warning light upon acelertion it gradually climbs and levels out just about at the first line . Anyone have a guess at what causes this?
What I know of the car
Valve cover deffinately leaks
Mechanic said there was a very small leak at the oil pan
oil and filter used unknown . I believe quakerstate oil maybe and pennzoil filter ( seen the filter was bright yellow mostly pennzoil filters on there shelves )
Not much else known as I've only had it 2 days and my yard is to swampy to lift the car so i can get under it and check things out
