Default Oil related, system clog?
Car, engine, etc:
'89 rx7 gtu, S5 n/a, engine has 36,000+/-miles on it. New oil pump w/rebuild. Oil press. has always been around 60(stock gauge), past half year or so, its dropped to 45 at idle. Still have the MOP. Been premixing for a year. Oil changes every 3500+/-miles. Use mostly Purolator oil filters and Castrol 10w30.

Problem/something Ive noticed:
The past two oil changes, when I take the oil filter off, oil spills out an over the pedestal, Oil is puddled in the pedestal.

Thats pretty much it, other than that Ive had no problems.

So whats going on here?

I assume the oil system is getting clogged, which can be bad and can get worse and lead to cause catastrophic failure.
I'm thinking an oil-change-flush might help.

Any other ideas or remedies?
