RB25 oil light flickers on and off - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So recently my oil light would flicker on and off, it's on when idle and anything above 2k rpm the oil light turns off. Then after a while I will flicker on and off. Parked it and popped the hood and saw oil leakage from the dip stick. But I mean bad oil leakage! When dip stick is out, it makes this clicking sound. I just want to make sure what everyone else's oil pump symptoms were before I change something that is or isn't causing the problem. Thanks guys. (Btw dip stick is in perfect condition)

Wait, it pumps out from the top or from the bottom where it is inserted into the block?

Replace your oil pressure sensor before you get drastic, it's old and can be going bad.

Just busting some random, shots.
Your oil level is to high, coupled with worn rings.
Oil contaminated with fuel making level too high also bad rings.
Clogged pcv, or bad routing.
Doesn't sound like oil pump, but...

There's more, but I would check the oil for contamination, replace that sensor do a leak down and or compression test.
