After driving for say 1 hour. The oil pressure warning light comes on, every time I slow down/stop at the lights*When the car warms up, I suppose*Maybe the OIL Pressure Swith. Or worst, the OIL PUMP*Please let me know.

Need to check with a mechanical oil pressure gauge to see if the reading is accurate. If the pressure really is dropping than the oil pump could be weakening. If the pressure isn't dropping then the oil pressure switch is at fault.
