When car warms up, the oil pressure gauge steadily drops down. The car doesnt run bad. No leaks, noises, smoke or obvious signs of engine trouble.

Is normal for oil pressure to drop off as the engine warms up, but you should get the oil pressure tested with a mechanical gauge to ensure that it is still with in the safe running limits when hot, start here.
