Either the pump or bearings going out (hopefully a pump). You can get a high flow pump from summit racing. I think its only like 50 bucks, and easy to change out. Good luck.

Replace the oil pressure sending unit first before ripping into the engine. I bet it is just a $15 part and a five minute fix.
