I have a PC180 LC-3 Komatsu trachoe that over heats after running for a couple hours, the low oil pressure light comes on then also(only when it gets too hot). It cools down faster if I leave the engine running fast vs putting at idle and the low oil pressure light goes off once it cools a little. I can leave the engine compartment hood open and it does not over heat. I had the water radiator cleaned, put new antifreeze and water into that goes down to about -20' when tested. I have replaced airfilters, the water flow from the water pump is strong at the hose going to the heater core in the cab. Put on new fan/water pump belts already. There is some engine oil that comes out a crank case vent on the back side of the engine where the hydraulic oil pump mounts to the engine. The engine does not use oil or smoke. I never lose radiator water or have oil in the water or water in the oil. The engine has 10,000 hrs on it, I don't know if had been rebuilt in the past, I purchase it around with 9,400 hrs.
My question is could this be a weak oil pump? If so are any of you familiar with these and is the engine oil pump inside the oil pan, I believe this is a S6D95 model Komatsu engine? Or what else could it be?

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
