Default Oil pressure issues or gauge tripping out?

Was just out driving when I noticed the oil pressure gauge bouncing around like mad even when cruising at a constant speed and engine rpm.
On idle it fluctuates but not as much as when the engine rpms are higher.

And also when turning right without any throttle being applied oil pressure drops low enough to sound the low pressure alarm but doesn't seem to do it when turning left.

Oil level is fine, not sure where the oil pressure sensor is located so haven't checked that yet but will check the Defi web site for the location and check it to make sure it's not that.

Anyone have any ideas? Does it sound like the gauge/sensor playing up or could it be something with the engine (oil pump?)
