I had the same problem.

How can I test or inspect this? Is this a common/known problem with S15's

As rod bearing wear you will see a decrease in oil pressure as more oil is slipping by the bearing. More than likely I would suspect rod bearings. It can also be piston slap....due to tapering of the cylinder walls. get it checked out. pull the valve cover off first and see if everything looks ok up top first.

No dents on the oil pan it's in great shape. I will pull the VC over the wekend. The car only has 45k miles and otherwise mint. Seems like the previous owner took good car of the car, so i'm hoping it's not the rods.
