Was told oil pump is in engine and I need to replace engine. Runs good for 30 miles or so then engine starts sputtering. No oil leaks but light and buzzer comes on and stays on. Already replaced sensor.

I have an old 1992 vw golf, given to me for nothing, but unfortunately leaking oil & transmission fluid pretty constantly (but can't really afford to change it until it actually dies - which can't be long!) - so I check the levels & top up regularly.
3 months ago the oil warning came on suddenly & it was a gushing leak from an oil pressure switch. I was very close to a local garage, took it in & left it. They replaced the switch for me for £50.
Now the oil warning is coming on again intermittantly- but the oil levels are fine & the engine sounds as before - no black smoke!
I wonder if it would be worthwhile having the other switch changed - or is this problem terminal :-(
