So, I went on a journey yesterday and put on about 250 miles. I got back home and I was stopping at 7-11 for a drink. As I'm turning into the parking lot, my OIL light flips on for an instant and then turns off. Today, I'm going to the grocery store and again, as I'm pulling into the parking lot, the OIL light comes on again and stays on for a few seconds and then turns off. I just checked my oil last week and it was fine but I have been noticing a leak underneath.
Do you think my oil pump is going out? Is it a sensor/relay? Where would the sensor or relay be located? I have a 1973 Plymouth Fury with a 400 big block and a two-barrel carb. The car just turned 80,000 miles this week and is all original.
Any advice would be appreciated. I have no money to go to my mechanic right now so I'm hoping I can fix it myself.
