1968 350?

I replaced the PCV valve and runs at 50 psi when I first start it but dropps to about 25 to 30 while cruising at 3000 to 3500 RPMs after the motor is at the operating temp (180* thermo if needed to know)

Drops between 8 to 12 at idle (750 RPMs)

Sounds about right to me, and it got better after replacing the ORGINAL PCV valve, but I figured I'd ask the pros here.

I have a pretty decent leak at the oil pan, I lose about a quart appox every 600 miles, and I'm getting the pan gasket replaced soon when I get the tranny rebuilt, hopefully within a month. I figured I would get the oil pump replaced if needed. As far as I know, it's orginal
