ok, I've only found a couple of posts on an intermittent oil lamp problem. I am 100% sure it is not the low coolant light (I've seen that one before unfortunately :o(

When a take a hard right or left turn on my neighborhood streets (30 mph+), about half way through the turn, the oil light comes on, and when I exit the turn, it winks off. It doesn't come on any other time. It just started this weekend.

I realize that it indicates lo pressure. I did add some oil (it's a leaker, but at 245k miles, I'm not dropping the pan to seal the gasket), in case the oil was sloshing in the pan and missing the uptake tube.

Anyone else had this problem on hard turns only? It's a turbo wagon. I know my vacuum lines are rotted out.
