Question Check Engine Light CODE P1259

My check engine light just started coming on. I got my oil changed and it is still on. I went to Auto Zone and they ran a diagnostic and it came out P1259 VYEC System Malfunction
1- Low Oil/Pressue
2 - Blocked Oil Passage
3 - Failed VCT oil control valve

My car has been leaking some oil. The place that did the oil change was too busy to even tell me what was wrong or if anything was wrong.
What should I do, without spending a ton of cash to get it looked at?
My CEL is still on even after the change.

Any help please?

Hey you havent gotten any responses and I was looking through the manual I downloaded on this site and searched
"P1259" and it has a pretty good diagnosis on this code maybe you should check it out it goes from the vtec oil pressure switch all the way down to the pcm itself. Good luck
