So I’ve changed the filter (volvo) and oil for some fully synthetic. The oil filter looked pretty dirty and I could see some small flakes of carbon tucked away in the fins. Refilled with oil, started up and again pressure was fine, then slowly it started to drop again, it raised when revved but then on idle it started to near 10psi and I shut it off...

I’m now thinking that the issue is likely to be a blocked oil pick up pipe so it’s time to take the sump off...
