Dale, replace the oil sender. You'll find it on the drivers side
of the engine, high up on the head, at the very rear. Has one wire
coming outta it. They go bad. They leak. When you pull the lead off
it you'll prolly find oil under the protective boot.
Volkswagon ones fit/work just fine.. (you want one off an air-cooled
VW) if you can't find the official leaky BMW part. Most auto parts
stores can help you out.
If it isn't this - you've got deeper problems. (I'm assuming you
mean the oil pressure light on the dash - not the oil level light
on the overhead console.. different beast altogether).
