Your best bet is to install a manual gauge or wire up the glowshift manually so it can give you as quick of a reading as possible.
Depending on your findings I would change the oil and filter and inspect the filter as previously stated.
Continue to monitor this.

Thanks for the response. I should clarify. I didn't put any rtv on the gallery gaskets themselves but I did use a lot reinstalling the timing cover and oil pan. It’s plausible that some excess detached and could have lodged itself somewhere. I’ve changed the oil this point, inspected the old oil and filter. I even ran a magnet and a light through the old oil and didn't pick up anything. I used a Harbor Freight external gauge in addition to the one thats already installed and they are both reading normal pressure. I have no idea what was causing it but I will definitely continue to monitor it.
