Oil Light On and Engine Noise....Help!

Here's the story,
Was driving my 1990 9K when I noticed it was running a little louder than usual. It almost sounded like there was a small hole in the muffler. I didn't think much of it, and since it was about 2 degrees outside, I didn't check it right away.
A few days later, my oil light ("oil can") came on only when the car idled. As soon as I would put it into gear and drive, the light would go off. The next day the light stayed on and she started getting noisy. I drove it very little, but it died on me a couple of times on my way to my mechanic (doing 30 miles an hour). The call will turn over and the engine didn't seize.
Here's my question: Do you think my engine is toast, or could it be that the oil pressure relief valve and spring on the timing cover is either broken or stuck?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
