Default Oil gauge sweep ?

hey guys im new to this board... i have an 02 Z28...SLP long tubes. no cats.. loudmouth...egr and rear o2's tuned out...stock ls6 intake.... i have a question about my oil gauge...when i turn my key to on...my oil gauge always used to do the sweep..i have had the car brand new and its at 70k....well the other day it quit...it just sits at 0 till i start the car then goes to 40...is there somthing wrong if it doesnt do the sweep?....also im suspect of a blown head gasket...i changed the oil today and the oil didnt look right...kinda a brownish like mud....coolant level is fine and clean...i got a pic i can upload of it...kinda crappy pic but maybe could help
