Oil pumps that are down on pressure won't necessarily trigger the oil light (ask me how i know this) but will still allow you to drive your car...keep in mind though, that heavy load and rpm will throw a bearing very quickly with
this situation.
Alternatively, the worst case scenario is that a bearing (or bearings) is worn out or scored for some reason, which would create a drop in oil pressure from excessive clearance.
