Hey guys, I experienced the oil light on the dash come on as I was going round a bend, granted it was at some speed so the G force could have caused the oil to go away from the sensor? (If that's even a thing?)

But the light came on as I went into the bend and turned off as I came into a straight and the car settled...

Anything a-miss? Or is it normal when cornering hard?

Have you checked your oil level using the dipstick?

sounds like your oil level is very low and it's washing away from your pick up pipe. not gonna do your engine any good.

Hi guys, I checked the dipstick when it was first doing it and it came up half way...

Checked again last night and there was practically no oil left... Seems I have a leak somewhere!

Gonna have to start a new thread about that one haha...
