The oil pressure dropped once before due to a bad filter. Changed and all was fine, that was about a year ago. Couple days ago same thing happen, just changed oil and filter and pressure attempts to rise but then falls to 0. Ticking accures as if no oil is being pumped. Has the pump gone bad or is there another problem?

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge-this will tell you if its the pump/engine bearings/galleries etc.
