Oil Pressure and Engine Sound Issue
About time I finally figure out what's wrong with my 99' Blazer. It's been sitting for over a year now and I miss it. So a few months before I stopped driving it, I replaced my leaking oil lines (engine to cooler). Few days later as I'm driving down the road, I hear a slight pop and see my oil pressure light turn on. Stopped the car immediately to notice the line for the oil going into the radiator had popped out and sprayed oil all over my engine bay. (Hey at least the bay looks clean and shiny now). Anyways, after getting a new retaining clip, cleaning my car, etc, my Blazer would run perfectly fine for the first 5 to 10 minutes of it being on (quiet engine, good oil pressure, etc). After warming up, oil pressure would drop to what looks like zero and there would be a scratching sound coming from the engine bay when accelerating. I'm thinking (and hoping) it's just the oil pump. Any ideas on what I can do to check? Any help is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to getting my Blazer back on the trails

It's only once the engine is warmed up, after 5 to 10 minutes. It sounds like something scratching inside the engine (metallic sounding). I feel like if it was something like the pistons, rockers, or springs it would happen as soon as I turn on the car. Doesn't sound like a belt at all
