Hook up an oil pressure gauge to it. I wouldn't recommend driving like that. Oil starvation will distroy bearings.

The pressure switch is right next to the oil filter. It has a single wire leading to it with a rubber boot attached to it.

And i read that the screen on the oil pump could b dirty but i dont know where that is. So picutres would be great.
The oil pump is on the other side of the timing belt behind the crank pulley. You want to check the oil pickup and that can only be accessed by removing the oil pan.

Sorry I can't provide pictures. This stuff is pretty self explanatory once you start where I suggested. A service manual will get into better detail about torque specs and removal/installation procedures.
