My husband has just told me that he has driven our Skoda Octavia (approx 10 years old now) this week and the oil light has been flashing/beeping. Then it goes out after a while. I've tried to explain to him how serious this is. I know it's likely to be either that the oil pressure has dropped due to a leak or other problem - or else that the light sensor is not working properly. Of course, I hope it's the sensor. There are lots of wierd electrical problems with this car anyway.
Does anyone have any advice for me about this? Besides the oil level, how can I check for oil drop - would there be oil spray about the engine? I know if there is a knocking then the engine is likely knackered.
Any help out there?
Thank you!
