Good evening/morning.

My Ram 50 is finally running, as much as I have gotten it fixed. I'm 0 for 3 on Rock Auto sending correct parts so far this last week. The first thing is that I have a leak, that's dripping somewhere on the back of the valve cover; the guy I bought the truck from claimed it was a head gasket, but it looks like it's dripping from the hose connecting the side of the air intake to the back of the engine somewhere. Could that be catching some water from somewhere?

The second is a low oil pressure light, but only while in gear and idling; she has oil, would that be a weak pump, or just an oil pressure sensor?

Thanks in advance.

Stock Mikuni carburetor uses coolant for the choke there are a few coolant hoses between the engine & firewall / I replaced my oil pressure sensor and that fixed the low pressure light from coming on
