    Is this hot or cold? Sounds like the oil pressure relief valve could be stuck. Was this measured off the gauge on the dash or an external gauge? Are you 100% sure that the pressure is as low as that and you aren't getting a squiffy gauge reading - verify this before starting to investigate the next step.
