While it could be bad seals, I suspect your problem is sludge collecting on the oil pick up tube in the sump. There is only one definitive way to fit this: drop the oil pan, replace the seals and clean out the screen.

You could check the top of the engine by removing the oil filler cap and taking a look at the cams, they should be dripping with oil.

If you do not want to drop the oil pan, it is a hard task even with a lift, then I suggest using some sort of cleaner in your oil. A quart or two of ATF, kerosene, or some such 'home' remedy. 5 minutes of idling, 20 minutes of cool down, 5 minutes of idling. Then check the oil pressure. If no pressure, repeat the next day. Followed by an oil flush/filter replacement, and fill with synthetic oil.

If the 'home' cleaners do not work, please do not call me or my lawyer.
