Ya know, sometimes it’s the simplest freakin things that you don’t think of! Checked the oil - oils down a quart. Problem solved HeyYou. Thanks!

Question on the oil pressure. My gauge used to run straight up on 40. Since replacing the sensor, it now leans to the right. It is still in the nominal range between the marks, but is this something I need to be concerned about? I took this picture with the engine idling and the AC running but this seems to be where it runs most of the time.

Well you're showing higher oil pressure with the new sender, which is probably more accurate than the old one. So that's something to be happy about, not concerned.

Wellll, it was laying down far left for a couple of months - that was way too long. I'm glad I got it right leaning before all the riots and protests! Just saying…
