I understand it's a right-hand turn issue.

If that's the case, I think from T10B turn-in to straightening the wheel after exiting T12 is one very long right-hander (some of it much more turning-right than the rest (i.e., T10B and T12)).

Bowie runs that section pretty consistently between 14.2-14.3 secs, making for a long stretch of turning. His hands also straighten-out a couple of times, whereas if you watch an in-car video from significantly faster cars (LMP3 and BW's E36 Pikes Peak), you'll see the driver is steering the car right throughout the section.

That section also goes uphill soon after starting and then turns into a long downhill before reaching the flat of the main straight. I have no idea what effects upon oil pickup those changes do or don't have.

Oil pressure would seem to be data worth capturing to see if there's an issue with it on that part of the track.
