Default lacking oil pressure

so i was getting $hit oil pressure so i took off the oil pan to check the oil pump to make sure
it was tight. and it is, so is the pick up tube. Any ideas what it could be? Do oil pumps
do this before they crap out or do they just crap out all at once? thanks

mine was slow to die, first it was 20 psi at idle in gear, then 10 and finally when id come up to a stop sign the needle was almost lying flat on zero. then i did a big 150 foot burnout and broke the crank and block. it was all stock anyway.
