If it were me personally, I would start a GM case immediately (contact GM online via live chat), have them start a case, and bring it to a dealership to have them note the symptoms and temperatures you are seeing. Make GM aware of the issue prior to the warranty expiring, explain you want it addressed prior to expiration.
At least then, it is clear you are making an effort to get it fixed prior to your warranty expiring. If there is a case where you see a failure and your powertrain warranty is expired, you will now have reference material to show them this problem has been around prior to expiration. Then you have a chance at a "warranty repair" with an expired warranty.
Hard to say, usually I see 20-25PSI cold when it is at the "half-failure" point. So you are lowering than normal, but also higher than the expect failure points

UPDATE:
I hadn't heard anything back on the car since dropping it off on Monday; just called my Chevy dealer, the phone rep told me the car was currently getting an oil pump installed under warranty! I swear, less than 5 minutes later I get a text from my service adviser telling me the car is ready to go and that they swapped out the pump.
Unreal... I must have the greatest Chevy dealer of all time at my disposal; they've been incredibly pleasant to work with up to this point as well. Love those guys.
