Oil pressure is fine. It's supposed to peg at 3 bars when you accellerate and will go down to 1.5 when you're sitting at idle. The only probelm is if it doesn't go up to 3 when you accellerate. Oil pressure is a direct feed from the engine up the cable to the switch in the dash so it shouldnt be fluctuating at all while driving.

Voltage regulator is on the back of the alternator. Easy to replace. There's just two or three screws if I remember correctly.
