Thinking more about this one... The engine is an inline four with an overhead cam. The oil pan is under the block and has the oil pump within it. The head of course is ontop of the block. So I would think a cracked block or a failed head gasket would be closest to where oil pressure would be highest (if oil pressure really varies enough to make a diff in this kind of situation).

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
