If you checked the pressure with the sending unit in the car, it is possible the sending unit itself may be bad!
if it POURS out, check drain plug, oil filter and oil pressure sending unit

The oil pressure could be dropping. Or, the sending unit could be going bad or have loose wiring. Check the wiring and the sending unit. It will take an oil pressure gauge to check that the pressure is correct.
The oil sending unit is located next to the oil filter...
