Low oil pressure most often just means a bad sender. Check the wire connection to the sender, and verify with another gauge.

HOWEVER, if the oil light blinks and the buzzer sounds, then CHECK THE OIL LEVEL.

mar3 is correct for the level sender.

however, if you guys are looking for the pressure sender, it's just under where the filter is mounted.
