do not run engine with red oil light on, it can cause severe damage. Check oil level first. If ok, then check oil pressure with a gauge. If oil is not low, you may have a clogged filter or a borlen oil pump inside the engine.
Is this a diesel? I just changed my oil and oil filter. You have to remove the plastic engine top cover first and you will see the oil filter in the front right. Black with hex nut on top (my 1 1/4 AF socket fitted). You have to disconnect the bracket holding some wiring. Pull the wiring forward to access the nut on top of the filter. Undo and remove/replace filter. Under the car you will find a small hatch in the underside plastic cover held in place by three 10 mm bolts. Remove this to access the 19 mm drain plug. Drain old oil and refill with 4 ltrs 5/30 fully synthetic. Top up if necessary after running engine but DO NOT overfill. The fuel filter is on the bulkhead at the back of the engine on the right side. I wont be changing that for a while!
While I understand this answer may be overkill, follow this link to an article about the engine cooling system. Look midway down the article for this sentence "More information about 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander Engine Cooling System service and troubleshooting, find here – 32 pages of PDF filetype" Click on the "find here" link which will prompt you to download a file 14_rar. Open it with any decompressing software (Winzip, WinRar) to find 14.pdf. Go to page 14-23 to see a diagram of where water pump is. It will also give you instructions on removing and replacing it. Good luck!
