Default Low oil pressure help

Hi can any one help me. I have a 2002 wrx, the car drives fine iv not lost no performance but when i accelerate my oil pressure gauge gose straight to the bottom (low). I dont know what the cause could be. But this all happened this week. The car still sounds correct and has no smoke or bad idel. But since this low pressure problem the car has started to have a very minor and i mean minor hesitation. If anyone has any info for me. Much appreciated. Thanks

i had with mine (mine is a rally car) that the pressure became low mainly on tick over so decided to swop and it was the best move as it was on the way out
it had only done 400 race miles
if your not sure get it checked or swop to an 11mm or 12mm but get one from a good supplier

Sounds like the oil pick up pipe has fractured, if your oil pressure gauge is reliable that is, and its got enough oil in it.

Get your oil pressure checked asap with another gauge to see what the oil pump is actually putting out.
