It's around crankshaft at the front of the engine, behind the pulley.

You can; it's a PITA. You'll need to remove the radiator.

Try a mechanical guage to verify pressure.

I agree with Marc, I rebuilt an engine in my old pickup 3.0 v6. The guage was reading very low, not even to the first mark. I had all new parts and a new toyota oil pump. So I installed a cheap mechanical one from autozone and it was giving me 60-70 lbs. of pressure. So dont trust the stock guage, double check.
