You will have an idea that you need a new oil pump if it no longer puts out adequate pressure to lubricate the engine bearings. Use an actual oil pressure gauge to check the oil pressure, the dash light is not a reliable gauge. Also make sure the oil filter is not choked with dirty oil and restricting pressure.
The final determination if you need a new pump is to check the clearances in the pump itself. To check the clearances look in a manual such as a factory service manual, a Chilton manual or a Haynes manual. They should have helpful illustrations as well as the clearance specifications.
You could also check the pressure relief valve, it might be plugged up with sludge
