I would say that's a big problem if it's accurate. What oil are you using? I suggest getting a good mechanical gauge on it and recheck it. If it's still low, I would send an oil sample out for testing. If the report is ok, replace the oil pump. Otherwise pull the engine for tear down before it grenades.
