oil pressure drops @ idle
while driving the oil pressure is good...once i get to a light or stop the pressure DROPS to nothing...once i get going it rises again
is this normal or is there a leak somewhere?
i just got the car so i don't know if it's burning/leaking oil...yet

goto www.bobistheoilguy.com then forums.. do a search, or post your questions there.
EDIT: Near zero @ idle? Then I think there's a problem.. try and get an oil pressure gauge ( other then the one on your cluster ) and see if thats the gauge or not.. check out the website posted.. the oil gurus are there ( not refering to oil that you can smoke and get high on )

I had the same problem on my camaro. I first replaced the oil pressure sending unit but that didnt help. Then I swapped in a mechanical gauge and it works perfect now. You can buy a white face Sunpro oil pressure gauge at Princess Auto for around $10.

hey, if your car is an auto... try putting it into neutral when you are stopped... I had that problem in an old ef that I had, and whenever i 'shifted' into neutral... it went away.
