it shouldn't do it if there is enough oil in the sump though. Whilst that light is on, and your getting less than 4psi of oil pressure damage could easily be caused! | |

there is a pipe that goes into the sump (the oil pick up pipe) it picks up oil and feeds it to the oil pump, the pipe feeds from the left hand side of the engine, so when you corner hard left, the oil is thrown to the right of the sump so the oil cannot pick it up. It shouldn't really happen though tbh, sump baffles are designed to stop it. | |

Sounds like oil surge is loosing you oil pressure. I bet this only happens when you corner left. | |
