Default Oil pressure problem

Has anyone had any problems with there oil pump? Brief description: ticking on initial startup for about 5 seconds then it stops, oil pressure stays at about 20psi at idle and 40 while driving. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I wish I could help you out, but I've got a friend with a '03 Z06 with the same problem. Only difference is he tracks his car and at one point got a "Low Oil Pressure" warning on the DIC.

We're doing oil analysis, etc. trying to figure out what's going wrong. If I find out anything I'll let you know.

Have a good one,
Mike
