[Chrysler300] 300D Oil Pressure

[pennsy300@xxxxxxx]

Need some advice here.  The oil pressure on my 300D (as  indicated by the 
in-dash gauge) has always been on the low side.  I just  had the pressure 
professionally checked, and they also reported very low  numbers, ten to twenty 
pounds.  Since the engine was totally rebuilt fewer  than 10,000 miles ago, I don't 
think wear is the problem.  (Even shortly  after the rebuild, the indicated 
oil pressure was always low.)  I am  guessing that the problem is in the oil 
pump, but that is only a guess.  Is  there any place on the engine (other than 
the tube running to the pressure  gauge) where I might  attempt to further 
diagnose this problem, before  dropping the pan and installing a new oil pump?  
Any and all help will be  greatly appreciated.  Terry McTaggart
