Its has about 50lbs. when cold and when warmed up it just above the 0 on the gauge. The rocker are a little loose so the rockers make some noise. What could be the problem?

There's a threaded plug in the drivers side of the lifter valley behind the last lifter. If it is missing you will have low oil pressure for sure.
