My oil pressure light flashes intermittently. It seems as if it does it most when the car is stopped at a light. It doesn't do it everyday, maybe once a week or so. I have recently had the clutch replaced and when I did they also replaced the sending switch. Should I be worried?

Get the oil pressure check-could be the oil pump or engine bearing problems. The light coming on means the oil pressure is low-something is amiss.

It sounds like the engine oil level is low or the oil pump pickup screen is clogged. Here is the location of the oil pressure sender which is here you would install the oil pressure gauge. I have also included how you can change out the oil pump incase it is weak. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
