Oil Pressure Light 700 1991

I have the symptoms you describe, Don - idle normal when engine is cold, no oil pressure light on. Once she warms up after 15 or 20 minutes the oil pressure light is on steady whenever the car is at idle and idle tends to be (according to the on-board tach) 500-550 - but always turns off immediately when I accelerate (as soon as I press the gas pedal).

Are these simply signs of a worn engine? A blown delivery tube o-ring? Are the oil pressure light and idle related?

If you have heard me on this before, I am sorry - I am just trying to solve this annoying problem. Thanks.
