Level dummy light?

Ok, so I start the car up this morning, let her warm up about 5 minutes, I get back in, level dummy light comes on, so I check oil and all that junk, everything is fine... and then I drive around a bit, and it seems when I turn the steering wheel the light goes off, then it will come bvack on if I turn the wheel the other way, I am thinking it is power steering fluid or something? Anyone know what it is?

The only thing that idiot light will go on for is oil level, that's it. Shut the car off, pull the dipstick, wipe it, reinsert, and see where your oil level is. If the light is coming on, you're probably 1-2 quarts low - it might not even show up on the dipstick.

The light comes on when you go around corners because the oil sloshes around in the oil pan.

Does a buzzer sound as well? It should. If not, your buzzer is blown - not an uncommon problem. That's also your shift buzzer and low coolant buzzer.
