83' 245 oil pressure problem

Oct 18, 2004 1 Replies

Hello,



I have an 83' 245 with 185k miles on it and it runs great. During the past couple of days the indicator light for low oil pressure turns on every once in a while. Lately more and more often, the light flickers, does not relly turn on completely. The engine is running fine and not hot, the oil level is right and the oil filter brand new. Could this be just an electrcal problem, if so, where shall I look? Are oil pumps likely to fail at this age and mileage?



Thanks, Marco.


The sender is on the side of the block above where the alternator is mounted. It can go bad, but look at the wire connected to it.
