I want to go aftermarket soon yes. But is there anything I can do for the time being till then. RP wont be open again till the week after next. If its not really fixable then I guess I'll just go for another week with out one and hope for the best.

...or possibly unplugged or the wire broken since it is reading 0. The stock sending units are known for failing, doublecheck the wiring and if it's fine replace the sender.

The little red light is the oil level in the pan, it uses a completely seperate sensor from the pressure sensor. The oil level sensor is on the driver side of the oil pan. The oil pressure sensor is a small "can" with a single wire connected to it. It's on the driver side of the motor just forward and below the oil filter.
