a couple of days ago i had a warning light which literally came on for about 5 secs saying 'Stop, Oil pressure, stop motor. then it went off, i checked the oil and it seemed to be fine and didnt come back on for the rest of the journey.
Then yesterday it done the same thing but stayed on a little longer, then went off, then came back, then went off. i stopped checked the oil which looked ok, checked under the filler cap and i could see oil over the filler cap and under the rocker cover.
So i spoke to BaV for a little advice on what he rekons was up. so today i've checked that the oil was at a suitable level, then i dried under the oil filler cap, screwed it back on and started the car. i've let it get to running temperature (90) and the light hadn't come on the whole time. then i unscrewed the oil cap (it was a little tight) and then as it released there was defiantly pressure. there was a bit of oil which splashed out and if you was to leave the cap sitting there it would jump about from the pressure...
Does it sound like some sort of sensor? or does anyone know if there could be any other explanation??
Cheers
