The light means pressure is low, not level. The sending unit is screwed in next to the oil filter. Your mechanic will install a mechanical pressure gauge to verify the pressure is low or normal. If it's low, the engine needs immediate repair before serious damage is done. If it's normal, the sending unit may be all that needs to be replaced.
