oil pressure gauge question

Hey guys whast up, lately whenever i make a sharp turn, ussually a right turn onto a side street and downshifting, my oil pressure gauge sharply drops down to 0 and then has i come out of the sharp turn it goes right back, it happens pretty fast i dont think i am acctually losing pressure. The check gauges light does come on. Is the gague shot? somthing shorting out? anyone else have this happen? thanks

Sounds like you are low on oil or your oil pump pickup is not in the position it should be. Hopefully the pickup is not laying on the bottom of the pan. Perhaps you could rap on the bottom of the pan to see if you can detect the pickup bouncing up/rattling.
