I was worried about turning over the engine and damaging bearing material due to the lack of oil pressure.

It's a leak comparable to the amount lost from a worn seal. It's not all that bad but yes, I should address it sooner than later.

I am using the boundary oil pump. I wasn't aware that these pumps had their fair share of issues. Considering the price they come shipped at I figured I wouldn't have to worry too much about it.
What are you referring to by oem FMS?

Also I found the culprit. After I rebuilt the VVT actuator I guess I forgot to properly torque down the four bolts that hold it all together and the "spray" was attributed to the oil being practically dumped onto the serpentine belt. She still drives great with no issues (for now)
