Mainly in making left hand sweeper turns, the oil pressure drops nearly to zero and the oil light comes on. The oil level is topped up ( and a bit over ). I know this is somewhat common, but what can I do to stop this before I do some real damage? I have a tuna can that I can install, but I need something short of splitting the case.
