OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM
Ok here goes. Going back a couple of months my bottom end went on my 1997 wrx import. I then bought a bottom end off a my2000 uk turbo. Since then i have had a small drip of oil coming from the back of the engine
Now my initial reaction was to take it back to the garage that done the work for me and was told it was the oil return pipe from the turbo which he said he would put back on properly. Now 2 weeks down the line after prolonged motorway driving e,g 70mile round trip,when i slow down at the end of the slip road my oil pressure drops to zero. Any ideas would be great as im stumped
Sorry for the long story

If it drops to zero and the engine is still running the gauge is faulty. Would seize in a matter of seconds at zero pressure 
Does the oil light come on too?
Take it back to the guy that built the engine if you got a warranty on it
