I ended up taking the above poster's advice and installing an AEM oil pressure gauge! Woo yay!

Whelp, oil temp 180 degrees, idle with climate controls off....and

15-17 psi, sometimes dipping down to 13-15psi.

Looks like it needed new gaskets after all! More money going into the car for EPS gaskets along with a host of other timing components.

Will probably sum up entire experience in post later.
Not sure if 15-17 psi an actual problem (at that temp and at idle). I just had my engine completely rebuilt (plus a new oil pump) and it sits rock steady at 16 psi at 180+ degrees.

I have never seen it dip below 16 psi, though. 13 psi does seem low, and I agree that even 16 psi feels a bit low. Or, at least, lower than I would have expected seeing that others apparently see a much higher idle psi.
