low. The pressure switch may be faulty.
You'll have to plumb in a mechanical pressure gauge and see what the pressure is actually doing.
It may be less expensive to simply replace the oil pressure switch (I've had them leak anyway...the plastic innards/parts and the seal just die) and see if the problem repeats itself.
At that point I think you'll have to have the oil pump looked at again for problems, maybe someone used a bunch of silicone or other sealer and it's migrated...it's possible the oil pump intake screen is plugged, but unlikely, and to check THAT out you'd have to pull the power pack and split the engine/trans.
Not good.
