Check your oil level first. I would go ahead and change the oil and filter. If you still have low oil pressure then replace the oil pressure sender in case that is the problem but you may have a worn engine or oil pump. How many miles on the car and does it use oil?

Car won't start and it leaks oil from somewhere behind the engine block
