Oil pickup tube may have small blockage or pump is just starting to wear out.

go get a cheap oil gauge and install it to see if there is any problems. could be a bad sender.

but also be careful, my oil pump pick up tube fell off and toasted my 454..

Can't say I've seen pumps wear out, though the spring in them can get weak. I'd suspect the sender before anything else.
