low oil pressure is from an external leak, or worse, damage to the engine particularly in the crank where the tolerances have worn out causing low oil pressure. Try to identify if it is an external leak first. Typically however, the external leaks do not cause a loss in pressure as they are merely extra spill off/sloshing/low pressure gasket leaks.
