My Clio's oil light and stop light come on after driving for a while and revs drop below 2000rpm. It goes back out when the revs rise above 2000rpm again. I also have a slight tappety noise when the light is on. Could this just be a slight block in an oil port or is it something more serious.

Oil pressure:

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge,if normal replace the oil pressure switch. If abnormal could mean oil pump and engine bearing
