It is probably the crankshaft seal leaking.

Go to you local Auto-Zone and but a repair manuel. The job is easy , if you know anything about cars,How difficult is it to change an oil pump in a 1992 camry toyota?Chad is correct. Especially in an older car the Oring between the oil pump body and the housing bakes and gets hard, and won't hold pressure. It is amazing how much oil it will leak. But I am worried about the light coming on, as that leak doesn't usually cause that unless the oil is very low. You may have two problems. If those engines get very stopped up with gunk and or sludge, they can't pick up enough oil and the light will come on. I would repair the oil pump oring, all the front seals (don't just stop with the obvious) and then see if the light still stays on. If it does, you may need to pull the oil pan and have the pickup tube checked, and possibly the bearings. All these repairs can easily be done with the engine in the car.

The camry has an internal oil pump, so a leak would not be external, Oil would all stay in the crankcase.

Yeah, it would be expensive to fix. Easiest to take engine out.

The leak points are Valve cover gasket, Oil pan gasket, front and rear main seals, and occasionally, Head Gasket.

Take the car to a pressure washer type car wash. Wash the engine, being careful not to wet electric parts. Note where oil is coming from.

Bet on front main seal. Not a difficult fix.How difficult is it to change an oil pump in a 1992 camry toyota?
If it is a 4 Cylinder than you have a external pump, you need to remove the Timing Belt to change the pump.

It is not that hard to change if you are good with tools.
