Engine overheating when going up steep hills- loss of coolant - but not on ground? A little smoke exhaust but nothing major- Oil pressure light will come on and off when stopped at a red light -

Could be two separate concerns, I would statt with the overheat first, have to cooling system block checked for combustion gases indicating an internal leak. If you have no other issues, check the oil pressure sending unit for oil in the connector. It might be wise to have the oil pressure checked, and if it meets specs, replace the sending unit.
