oil gauge reads zero

anyone else expierience this? there is no possible way the motor could be running this long with zero oil presure... i mean at start up it reads normal...then after it warms up it drops to zero..

is that a normal problem?

verify with a good mechanical gauge, could just be a bad sending unit..
