Since you have been running the car for some time despite the warning light, I would venture to say that the problem is with the oil pressure sensor, not the oil pressure - if the engine really has low oil pressure, you may have already done permanent damage.
A quick $4 experiment: replace the oil pressure sender, which is probably due. Every single car that I have owned past a certain age has needed this switch replaced, i.e. on my now-retired C900 it needed to be replaced twice, my 9000 needed it at about 120,000 miles, etc. I bet that you can find one locally (immediately) for less than $10, it's a fairly generic part.
