Hi trichard76,

Thank you for the donation.

Either the oil pump is bad or there is a leak between the strainer and the oil pump.

You would need to remove the oil sump to check if the oil strainer is installed correctly and not leaking at the mounted joints between the oil pump.
Ensure gasket is good and the flange surface is level and flush.
