But you have to find your missing oil. How low was it? I think you should look for it in the coolant (milkshake).

I think the OPRV ordinarily fails to high pressure (anyone confirm?). It's next to the oil pressure sender and uses a 24mm socket. You'll need a new crush washer for it if you remove it, and I'd replace the two o-rings as long as it is out. Of course if you have oil in your coolant, you'll be resealing the oil cooler and its housing...
Well the pressure is running a little lower all the time now. The oil was at the bottom of the stick, low mark. No oil in the coolant. Engine is also 2 years old, complete rebuild.
