Oil Level Buzzer

The annoying buzzer has started to come on in my S4. When it buzzes it is a solid noise but it happens intermittently. Its triggers seem to be when turning the steering wheel at certain angles or when pressing on/ letting off the throttle. The buzzer is usually, but not always, accompanied by the oil level dummy light. My oil level is good (as is my coolant level for anyone who thinks it might be that issue) with no leaks. I searched the threads here and most people said to check the sensor where it connects to the oil pan. I did and there is a block-off plate at the oil pan with no sensor. Now I'm not sure where to check next. I want to be able to fix the problem rather than just remove the actual buzzer. Any suggestions?

did u find the wire that was supposed to run to the sensor? its an oval shaped 2 hole white connector with one red with white stripe wire on it , perhaps it is dangling with the connector broken and is grounding out on ocoassion.

plus you should really replace that sensor, because it is kind of important... and i don't say that because i think people are lazy and don't check their oil. the remote oil cooler adds a high potential for a massive oil leak.

eventually when you look at it it's just going to look like a 60 year old guy that is waiting for his viagra to wear off.
