when my van warms up, about 10 miles of driving, the oil pressure gauge drops to 0 when I pull up to stop and foot is on brake. If I put it in neutural and rib the motor it goes back up. It also goes back up when I take off. What could be wrong? Please HELP!

Hi there,

The first thing to do is get the pressure tested with a master gauge, this will give you a true indication as to the engine oil pressure. If the pressure is low, you may have a faulty pressure relief valve, faulty pump or worn engine bearings, Get the tests done first.
