Well my oil pressure guage is fluctuating, and when at low speeds and idle it is real low, but when at a good steady pace, and most of the time it is normal. So im guesssing it is the guage or the oil pump. But my question is it safe to drive without causing any damage to my motor???.......Also last night i sorta drove into a Giant puddle and my car stalled out and the water was just below the the door, so a little got on my passenger side carpet but just to make it damp.... So what should i check to make sure there isnt any damage?

Stock oil pressure gauge? If so, it has nothing to do with actual pressure, so you're in no danger. It's an electrical problem.

Yeah, what he said. The factory gauge is an idiot light with a needle. It is not really a guage, it just points to the same place as long as there is a minimum amount of pressure.
