I suggest a great place to start and these ahve failed before.

Oil pressure should be higher than seawater pressure

Only during normal operation. There are some instances where the revers is true. Start up of engine....the water pressure can rise before oil pressure has a chance to get high enough.
And the most usuall, shut down and subsequant cooling of the engine. It doesn't take much salt water to give a reading in the test.
Starfish, I suggest the engine itself will be OK. If you see no other issues, then you shouldn't have any. If it starts OK, runs OK and doesn't excessivly smoke, I suggest you have an issue with that oil cooler. It maybe a simple as a seal issue.
