yet another start up issue
Ok, when i start up my FD there is a crazy amount of white smoke (smells like oil). Heres the weird part though, the oil pressure gauge at start up goes up to normal pressure but after a minute or so it goes dead, (straight down),no pressure. W/ the smoke i'm reading in the forums that i need to start saving for a new engine. Regarding the gauge, would i need a new oil pump too, or is there some sort of sensor i can check. Car is 100% stock
Any feedback would be appreciated.
thanks.

The oil pressure part is probably the Oil Pressure Sending Unit. It's located down under the oil filter. It has a tendancy to get dirty and send false readings (or just fail altogether). I would try cleaning it first. If that doesn't help, then replace it.
As for the smoke, it could be one of many problems. I would check your turbos first. Then Oil Metering Pump, and lastly this thread:

Good luck!
