There's nothing physical to indicate one. Oil sampling shows nothing, and he isn't hurting parts. Also, he doesn't really know if the current circumstances are new or have always been there. If there is any potential "fix" to try, it would be to add a quart and see what changes, if anything. One clue is that he says pressure comes back up at the finish line (I assume after he lifts).
Already told him I would add a quart to see if it was a supply to the pump issue. The first response I made. I have seen the pickup too close to the bottom of the pan, along with thick oil cause it also.
