I'll have to check that out. Hopefully my parts. Come by Saturday so I can start tearing it down. I have to drain the coolant to get the plenum and valve cover off. Figured I'd do a cooling system service while it's drained.

On the Xterra forum I'm on they basically said these trucks just have shitty oil pressure sensors. :(

Yup that's what I said.

Valve cover and plenum gaskets are at the "warehouse". Which means they probably called china to make some :lol:

Well bad Good news and bad news.

Good news is I got the plenum and valve cover off.

Bad news is I think my the rear half of my timing cover is also leaking and according to my FSM it's a SEVER PITA to fix.

DAMMIT!
