dying oil pump, bad bearings?

Any metal in the oil?

How many miles on the engine? The oil pump in these engines isn't really known for lasting.

Well unless you put a gauge on it you won't know presure. My car was saying low pressure on the display. It ended up being a bad oil presure sending unit so I would change that and see if that's it.
