1996 Bonneville sudden Oil pressure loss.

Post by driveway Al »

Hey Guys, I have a 1996 3.8L Bonneville. I was driving and the oil pressure just dropped out and the engine started to make a loud tapping/rattling. I am trying to get to what happened. So far I dropped the oil pan but did not discover any metal pieces. My next guess is I was going to try getting to the oil pump. The car has 197,000mi. Can anyone else point me in a direction? Thanks.
