The other day my 52 side mount 8n oil pressure dropped down and I changed the oil, it was time anyway. It was down low, but still running fine. I changed the oil, replaced the filter, and now the pressure is pegged out at 80. I haven't ran it except to move it out of my way real quick. I've tried reading through some older forums and a lot of people say to just run it but I'm concerned with the sudden spike. Also a drop of oil seems to squeeze through the filter canister if I run it for a minute. I'm not sure if this is from the excessive oil pressure or the seal. Any ideas?
I just run out and test it does drop to about 58 at low idle.
