Default oil pressure

this is my first trailblazer so im not too familiar with them. i got the vehicle about a week ago for my girlfriend. i drove it almost four hours to were she lives and it ran fine the whole way. i pulled in the driveway and its a steep hill i stopped on. the oil pressure gauge drops to zero and bounces back and forth and puts the check gauge light on, only while i am parked on this steep incline. i back down to the flat and its fine. does this sound like a sensor or another issue. thanks

I'd say sensor issue.
