Default losing oil pressure

Ok, so I randomly loose oil pressure. The gauge goes to zero then the oil light comes on. The oil pressure gauge flickers to zero and back while driving. If it stays at zero for more than a few minutes a small nock starts and goes away when the pressure returns to normal. I also noticed a black fluid coming out in the exhaust when I hit the gas. the viscosity of the fluid is too thin to be straight engine oil. Their is no smoke coming from the exhaust that i can see and as far as I can tell there is no oil leak present on my driveway. Any Ideas.


Thanks in advance,

Matthew Wawrzyniec
