When Im driving my car and I go to brake my oil needle goes down to "L" and my check gages light comes on and when I proceed to drive it goes back to normal but when I brake it goes back down to "L" and light comes back on. What is that?

Chekc your oil level in the engine first. It has to be shut off to check.

You didn't say the oi level was full. You'll need to have it mechanically checked to make sure nothing is screwing up. If it isn't then replace the oil pressure sending unit.
