Low idle oil pressure. Click on this Link. The Post regarding Low Oil Pressure at Idle has some Info You may find Useful regarding the Oil Pump Tube Nut. Pages 3-5. The only thing I would mention is I use a Liquid Sealant on the Nut Threads to prevent Seepage.

Have you tried to tighten it? Do it a little at a time to see if it stops. You shouldn't put a lot of pressure on it but it has to have enough pressure to compress the seal. It's possible that the seal has gone bad and has to be replaced. You are talking abut the nut that goes into the oil pump that has a seal inside?

From my shop manual, oil pickup tube to oil pump 10-12ftlbs.
Get yourself a shop manual. Great investment.
