Oil Sensor

When I bought the truck it would jump from nothing to about 10%. About 200-400 miles ago I replaced the Oils Sensor (on the turbo). After that it worked It sat around 60%. Since then it has decreased. Now on the highway, doing say 70. its at about 1% about red. But If i come to a stop its at about 20%. What the, . Complete tune up at the time also. What do you think is my problem? Oil pump going out? Clogged sensor?

Is it smoking, is there oil in the pressure chamber/intake manifold?

No smoke pretty much covers my thought of Turbo seals, if they were that bad it would be smoking pretty good.

First thing I would do is get a real gauge, a mechanical one!

The connection on the sending usually is not making good contact. You might need to squeze it together a little.
