oil pressure problem

Ok my friend has a 2011 f-150 4x4 with the 5.0. He calls me flipping out says when he stops at a light the oil gauge drops way low and warning light and buzzer starts but there is no noise or idle drop from the motor. As soon as he lifts off the brake the gauge returns to normal and warning lamp and buzzer goes off. Any thoughts or suggestions? No check engine light ever comes on so im not sure if it will throw a code or not.
Any help is very appreciated. Thank you

Should check oil pressure

I would check oil pressure with a manual gauge before jumping the gun. Oil sender could be going bad. Hot idle should read in the 30lb range. If it goes below 10lbs you've got a problem
