major motor problem
First, I think you mean you did an oil pressure check, not a
compression check.
Assuming your values are correct, I'd guess you have a worn out oil
pump, given that the bottom end is not making noise. 25psi cold is too
low, and 5-9psi warm is low too.
Sliding in a new set of main and rod bearings is pretty easy too while
the pan is off. The whole job - rod and main bearings, oil pump,
gasket, oil, filter - will probably cost you in the range of $250 if
you do it all yourself. A good upgrade is the 2.0L 16V oil pump, these
are in the range of what, $135? but worth it.
