Default 997.2 GT3 fluctuating oil gauge & ticking sound

Hello,

I'm having a problem with my 997.2 GT3..,
The oil gauge is fluctuating at idle between 1 & 3.. & lately I noticed a ticking sound coming from underneath the engine driver side.
The ticking sound only at idle & once I tap the accelerator the sound goes & then back to idle the sound comes back.
Note: when the car worms up the ticking sound appears.

is the car fully warmed up (oil at 180 or so) when the needle is bouncing? Can you post video?

The ticking, these cars make a lot of noises... I'd have a shop you trust look at that.

Yes you can say almost warmed up.

Check that the ticking sound isn't just the actuator to the exhaust valve gone bad. Mine was sounding strangely rattling from one side till I replaced the actuator
