You potentially have a bad oil level/ pressure sensor? Have you noticed any change in the operating temperature or idling which could potentially point to a bad oil pressure pump?
Yep, I’d bet the pump is on its way out if it’s never been replaced. Worth checking pick up pipe too, as others have already suggested. Have you just had a fresh oil change done? That can highlight a tired oil pump too.
just dropped the sump put in new oil pick up pipe fresh oil from tps and filter now oil light comes on as you move off from cold got no codes from the diagnostic machine the old pick up pipe was clean no clogging up of gunk dont no what to do now the engine sounds sweet and boosts fine
