I have a 1996 VS Pssaat, GLX 6 cylinder, about 156,000 miles. Recently oil light indicator started beeping, pulled over stopped car, oil on engine components, towed car, mechanic replaced oil housing unit were we saw oil leakage, changed filter etc. Started car recently again so no leakage but after driving for a few blocks the oil pressure light beeped again, car is parked.

Hook up an oil pressure mechanical gauge where the oil pressure sending unit and read the gauge at idle and @ 2K rpm and comeback with the readings-could be the oil pressure sending unit itself.
