Could be many things, but fuel pressure regulator, leaking injectors are most likely. DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL FIXED. If the fuel is really getting into the oil pan, oil will be diluted and could damage engine bearings.
May need a new oil pressure switch,it's located next to oil filter,remove electrical connector then part.You may have to remove oil filter to remove part.
Check compression and timing. Then check sensors(MAF, oil pressure sensor). Don't crank engine too long. Cranking engine may pour a lot of petrol into your engine oil.
make sure that the filler cap seal is in place and not gone hard over time also has the rocker cover been off at some stage if it has check that the gasket has not moved the other thing to look out for is that the PCV (breather )valve is in good working order if it is damaged the sump compression will rise and push oil out
1) your engine has worn or damaged valve stem oil seals. 2) valve steam excessively worn 3)plugged drain back holes 4)engine oil being blown ut past the intake manifold gasket 5)punctured automatic transmission modulator diaphragm 6)oil viscosity is too low. God bless you
Please refer to the owners manual for red light warning, it can be low oil pressure or hot engine or emissions system. If you don't have an owqners manual you can find used ones on eBay Motors.
The VERY 1ST thing you need done here is to have a mechanical test gauge hooked up to the engine and verify the oil pressure is ok, then if it is replace the oil pressure sending unit on the engine. Do not drive this until you are sure the pressure is good, you can quickly burn up the bearings and ruin a very expensive engine.
The engine is low on oil. but assuming it is not.
The engine is either idling to low .
The engine oil pressure itself is low. The engine oil pressure switch is leaking or not reading the oil pressure in the car.
I assume there is not knocking noise from the engine.
I would check for any oil leaks on the engine .
IF there are no leaks , I would change the oil pressure sesnor or switch first .
This could lead into major engine work.
