If idling with little to no load and so long as you have a few psi oil pressure, like 4 or 5psi, I wouldn't worry about it. My Detroit diesel manuals list under normal operating conditions a surprisingly low allowable oil pressure at idle, pretty much if it registers on the gauge it's OK. Above idle more pressure is needed because more load will/can be taken above an idle.
