>actual low oil pressure...

(...caused by a pressure relief valve that didn't seat properly when coming off of high engine rpm in hot weather?)

The fix for an intermittent oil pressure alarm (buzzer plus light) on a 1990 Westy (as described above), was to replace the spring on the oil pressure relief. Can't remember where the spring resides. I remember only thinking how simple the spring replacement had been.
