The last two mornings I started my 87 Westy and the oil light went on and I heard a buzzing noise in the dash. I shut off the engine and started it again 2x and the buzzing noise stopped and the light went off. The 2.1 rebuilt engine has run perfectly for the last 50+K miles. Am I headed for trouble...or??

Recent oil change, by chance? Oil/Filter choice if so?

Problem solved...the mechanic that replaced the water pump damaged the wire going to the pressure switch. He fixed the problem...no charge
