oil pressure problem

I recently took my 48 pwagon on its' first long drive, (30 miles or so), and on the way back the oil pressure started to drop from 40 down to almost 0. Since then, whenever I start it up, the pressure is up around 40, but when I drive, it drops right down again.

I replaced the gauge and had the same problem. I have one good sized oil leak coming from somewhere around the bottom of the timing chain cover, but can't see where it's coming from. All I can see is a lot of oil leaking down from the cross support for the frame under the radiator. Could this leak cause the oil pressure drop? How about bad oil pump? or clogged screen in oil pan?

Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks.
