is it normal for my oil pressure to fluctuate?
when its at an idle the oil pressure is at about 10psi, during heavy acceleration it shoots up to about 75, then when im cruising at 60 it stays at 60psi. is this normal? i don't remember the 85 that i had ever doing this.

no that's on a factory gauge so of course its an estimation. i was just curious if its normal cuz i have an oil leak and i thought that might be why its fluctuating.

i can't figure out where my engine is bleeding from. are there any really common places that 12as tend to leak from? mines leaking on the drivers side and it creates a small pool where the engine says 12a mazda. please tell me there's a chance its not coming from between the rotar housings.

If you have the beehive oil cooler, I would check the lines underneath the cooler. See if the connections are loose or corroded. Check to make sure the hoses don't need to be replaced. I am sure there are other things that could be leaking before you need to worry about the engine itself, but that is a good place to start.
