Default losing oil pressure

ok, AU series 1 with a VCT 6 cyl, it is a problem that has seemed to get worse the more i drive it. now it definately has to be fixed.

oil pressure seems to be good while i am driving but once the car is warm and is on idle (eg-sitting at the lights) the oil pressure drops to a dangerous low where the warning buzzer and light come on-give it a few revs (gently) and the oil pressure comes back up to a safe level.

QUESTION, what the hell is wrong with my engine? it doesnt apperar to be making any abnormal noises-just the standard 190,000km noises.

really i need to know if it is a DIY job or do i need to book it in?
