I do not think these models come with an oil pressure gauge.
With one of those, it is easy to tell if you are having pressure drops.
Hopefully it is just something minor.
Or...perhaps it is exhaust related. eg: once it warms up, and the exhaust pipe expands, the noise goes away.

X2 on the oil pressure gage.
If it's exhaust related, chances are it's a cracked exhaust manifold. Not the end of the world, but a bear to get into it to get the bolts at the top!!
I still suspect the clogged oil passages.
