no oil preassure

i have a 91 z28. when i start it in the morning the oil pressure it at 30 psi around. then like 2 mins later when warm or tthe oil preassure goes down to 0. it looks like it goes to -0. it goes below red. no matter if its at idle or rolling. i could kinda hear a little knock. my filter is good and im not burning oil. or leaking oil. is this my oil pump? thx

Re: no oil preassure

First I'd suspect the oil pressure sender, but if it really is low oil pressure then it's the engine, not the oil pump.
