The psi does not matter unless it is pegged at 21 or so psi. That probably means 
you are losing coolant. Generally that only happens if the engine is overheated.
Perhaps it could also happen if there is an o-ring leak between the combustion
chamber and the water jacket. 

The temp should be over 150 degrees F.
