There's an orifice built into oil pressure gauges. Built into a lot of gauges. It's there to dampen oscillations and minimize wear on the gauge. Also make it easier to read because it isn't jumping around. Same reason they fill gauges with glycerin. Take the line off of the back of the gauge. Look up inside the fitting. There should be an orifice in there. Check and see if there's a piece of crap stuck in it. I suggested this earlier. I had this exact same thing happen to me 30+ years ago. I poked it with a needle (or something) and it squirted oil out. Worked perfectly after that.
