Chevrolet Silverado Sensor Problem

My oil pressure gauge at start up shows about 50 psi, after driving for about 20 minutes, the gauge goes down to about 20 psi. At a stop light the gauge goes as low as 8-10psi, and the check gauges light comes flickers on and off. Is this a oil sensor problem? And where is it located on the 350 engine? Thanks
