when I crank my engine while it is cool the oil pressure runs about 30 after it warms up it runs about 20-25 any ideas to what may be the cause and how to fix.

While engine is warm and idling should be about 8-15psi and the faster the engine spins should go higher. If in doubt do an oil pressure check if normal replace the oil pressure switch abnormal could mean the oil pump and engine bearings.
