If low/no oil pressure is verified by mechanical gauge, then hopefully oil pump.
If oil is contaminated with coolant (chocolate color thin consistancy), then head gasket.
If oil is contaminated, then most likely you also have a main/cam bearing problem and engine will have to be rebuilt.
If oil is OK, then replace oil pump.
