Um, what?

It is very hard to read stream of consciousness writing. If you format your question properly, it will be far more readable. I'm not quite sure what you are asking at this point.

I think you are trying to ask why one oil line doesn't appear to have oil in it? If this is the case, then you need to check the line for leaks and test the injector nozzle it connects to as per the instructions in the FSM.

yeah thats what i was asking sorry it was so jumbled i was trying to be descriptive it looks to me like theres not been oil running threw it and as we all know these are pretty important. so you think i may have a plugged injector is there anything else that may cause this cause as far as i can tell if the other three are running oil then the pump itself should be operating correctly right

The pump itself almost never fails and if it did, all the other lines would be dry as well.

Check oil pressure with a different gauge (such as an aftermarket one). The stock senders are getting unreliable at this point.
