So it could be a bad oil pump or excessive bearing clearances in the engine, as you didn’t state engine mileage. I would have a analog oil pressure gauge installed so you can see the actual pressure from cold to operational temperature. If the pressure starts low then it most likely the oil pump, if the oil pressure starts out normal then starts to drop as it warms up then it’s bearings.

I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima. I think I'm having a problem with the power steering. A few days ago it started making a grinding noise when i turned right, the PS fluid is low, but how do i know if that is the problem or if it's something more serious? The problem is, I am ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS when it comes to cars, car problems, repairs, labor, & fair prices. The other problem is that I'm a young, single mother on a VERY tight budget. How can I find a mechanic/garage in Chicago or the suburbs that is not going to completely take advantage of me?Any advice is much appreciated!!Tiffani 3 Answers
