Technical Oil light flashing on

[clairewatson0609]

Hi all

My oil light keeps coming on when I start up the car. It flashes on and off for about 10minutes then stops and won't come on again until the engine is completely cool and the car started again.

There hasn't been any oil leaking to note, and when I checked the dip stick it showed there was too much oil in it so I wondered if this could cause the light to come on?

Also I did notice that the dial in the lower right hand corner of the dash (as you look at it) has a small round red light that flashes on and off, when the oil light comes on it stays red? I actually don't know what this light means?

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

Claire
