    Driving home last night and the oil pressure light flickered on for maybe half a second then disappeared. It hasn’t come back since and the car feels fine. But I know oil pressure warnings aren’t something to shrug off. I found exoticautoservices.ae/is-your-car-leaking-oil while searching for what a flickering light could mean and it’s made me think there might be a leak or low level I’m not aware of. Should I stop driving until it’s checked or is a brief flicker sometimes just a sensor glitch? And if it is low oil, how quickly does damage happen? I’m worried I’m sitting on something serious.
