I had this once after a service from Audi lol, when the oil filter is replaced the drain off Nipple needs resetting by gently pulling it back out.
I wouldn't worry though as oil pressure itself will push the nipple back out and reseal the drain off point.

It was previous oil that had soaked into the wiring all good now thanks
