oil leaking 0 oil psi

oky i turn my car on one day and i get 30 psi 2000rpm then 5 and know none. there is air bubbles in my oil is this bad? I found a leak it is on the front of the motor near the spark plug. Could this small leak make me lose oil psi. I just jb welded the little *** and i see in the morning if it holds.

I think it coming from the front motor housing 2 inchs below the 12a symbol

it is full of oil 20-50w and i think there is water drops in my oil because the oil is very thin even when cold so i put a quart of 85 gear oil in there and i only get 5psi know matter what rpm

Make sure your gauge is working right. Use a mechanical gauge to check to be sure its not just the gauge.
