After adding oil, let oil sit about 3 minutes before checking it.
First pull out dipstick, wipe off, then reinsert and check, oil should be above check oil mark

An oil pump is an unlikey cause. If the oil pressure was really low the oil pressure light would be on and the engine would be knocking like crazy.
