Oil pressure S70 2000

This light usually comes on when oil pressure is already dangerously low. The usual culprits are
   1) low oil level (change the oil and filter, don't just top it up)
   2) bad sender unit
   3) oil pump failure (worst-case scenario, very expensive)

The fact that it happens when going around a corner points to #1. Let's hope so.
