    When does it drop? When the engine is cold? Just started? When is the last time the oil was changed? Are you using a good name-brand oil filter? Some of these have a drain-back valve that can stick open and COULD cause a drop in pressure, but it's doubtfull. The best way to know what's going on is to put a mechanical gauge on it. Remove the factory sending unit and screw in a mechanical gauge.
