A very comon problem - as Glenn says - most likely the pressure sending
unit is bad, but you may want to have the pressure actually checked as a
precaution against engine damage. The problem is almost always a bad
(internally leaking) oil pressure switch and not truly out-of-spec. oil
pressure.

Here's a thread in which I dicsuss this in more detail, inculding what
Glenn was getting at with removing the rubber isolator in the connector
(to relieve build up of internal pressure due to seepage):
