Thats a huge problem with 98-00 cars, and its the pressure regulator valve in the oil pump that sticks. I would recommend replacing it ASAP before it fails completely, the loss of oil pressure you see now is a warning that it will get worse. Its either a $80-$130pump now, or a $3000-$5000 shortblock later...
