rebuilt engine oil disaster..

Oil leak and the light coming on are probably two different things happening...did you use silocone along the front and rear of the intake manifold...if not you probably leaking there if you just used the cork gaskets...second of all what oil pump are you running...stock...high pressure or high volumne? Take out you oil sending unit and buy you an oil pressure testing guage...screw it in were the oil pressure sending unit was...cold you shoud get 70-80 psi...warm at idle should be 36-40 psi if not something internal in the engine is wrong...bearings were not clearanced properly...etc and what is 30 wt mineral oil? also if you overfill with oil you will find oil trace all over the place...
