2007 Bobcat T190 oil pressure problems

Two problems going on.
First, Oil pressure is great on startup for about 5 minutes then slowly goes down and cuts off the engine. Once it sits for a while and started up again the pressure is back to normal for another 5 minutes or so. One possible cause is a clogged oil sump screen?????
Second, The oil on the dip stick is super clean while the oil in the sump is dirty. It's like the oil on the stick isn't getting circulated in the engine at all.
Any thoughts on why this would be happening?

Thanks

Possible that your oil pump is going out or is out. Are you able to put a gauge instead of the pressure switch in place and check the actual pressure of the engine?

Yes, I'm planning on doing that next week.
Oil sensor is hard to get to being that it's on the backside of the engine.

Do you have your Serial # handy? I am pretty sure you have a Kubota Engine and there it should be in the front of the Engine
