If it is leaking it is bad. Otherwise you just replace it if you suspect it to be defective.
Your oil pressure sending unit is bad or the oil pump is bad. I would check the sending unit first
Replace oil sending unit with a manual gauge
Where is the oil sending unit on a 2.8
The oil sending unit is located next to the oil filter...
You need to remove the oil sending unit and install a oil pressure gage in it's place then start engine and read gage. Iwould tell you were the sending unit is but you did not say what you are working on.

If you checked the pressure with the sending unit in the car, it is possible the sending unit itself may be bad!
if it POURS out, check drain plug, oil filter and oil pressure sending unit
The oil pressure could be dropping. Or, the sending unit could be going bad or have loose wiring. Check the wiring and the sending unit. It will take an oil pressure gauge to check that the pressure is correct.
the oil pressure drops when i turn on the a/c is this because of a bad oil sending unit?

Yes but check the oil level often until you get it fixed.
