oil pressure strange problem

hello guys.

while bedding the new brakes last night, in the middle of the run, my oil pressure gauge (hks one) started to show 0bar and warning light on (obviously). the stock oil pressure on the cluster always seemed fine showing just below the 4 mark on idle. there is no oil leak as the level sits good where it was before and also there is no oil puddle on the floor. the pressure was reading 0 on the gauge and sometimes when i braked or accelerated (and sometimes even when doing nothing) it was reading fine again. it was a strange thing. if there is not a leak there are only 2 possibilities right? my n1 oil pump is failing or the pressure sensor might have a fault. do you know, if the problem was to be caused by the oil pump failure, if it could be intermitent? like providing no pressure and then all of a sudden providing nice pressure again?

i will try to check the oil pressure gauge connections also to see if i can find something wrong.

any helps would be appreciated.

thanks guys
