replace the inner cover on side of engine (1 reports)
Low oil pressure FIX! The gasket on the inside cover of the engine blows (135007Y00B). The gaskets alone are not available so the whole cover must be replaced. You may even find pieces of these gaskets or timing guides in the oil pan. Replacing the cover fixes the oil pressure issue. Also, the timing guides tend to wear from the timing chain and are worth replacing while you are in there.
