Would it be safe to drive round the block to see if it drops ?
firstly i'd change the oil for 10/50 (silkolene pro S is good)
the oil pressure needs to be taken when the oil is up to temp -
if its a high pressure pump then i dont think you have a lot to worry about - oil pressure is better than none at all
taken it for a run for 30 mins or so then see what it reads after that
