Oil Warning light



Have a diagnostic question:

Last night I drove to pick up my daughter (about 60 miles) in the 94
Jetta GL (2.0L). This is in Wisconsin, roads wet-damp, about 30 F.
Zipping along like, I normally do, at around 65-75 mph. Slow down for
traffic ahead--going about 30 mph at 2100 RPM, steady. All of a sudden
oil light comes on--beeps three times and goes out. I pull over, check
the oil (Mobile 1, 5W30) and it is fine. Get back in drive for about 20
minutes and the whole thing repeats again. Did it two more times that
evening. On the return trip, nothing.

Question: Anyone have any suggestions what I should start looking for?
Is this the early warning signs of an oil pump going out?

Any opinions, as always, will be greatly appreciated.
