What is the oil pressure now? How long did it stay at 2 lbs? Did you run when it was at 2 lbs?

As of now the oil pressure is normal on startup it’s 40+ lbs then one warm drops to about 15lbs. When it oringally happened I ran it for about 15 miles when I Pulled off an off ramp came to a stop and noticed oil pressure was 2lbs.

Well if you only have 2 psi oil pressure then either there's a rod/main/cam bearing out or your oil pump is fubar.
