That light and buzzer aren't for level, they are for pressure. Huge
difference! You could have a very big problem, or just a bad sensor. There
is a reason that they make that buzzer so annoying.

At the very least, STOP DRIVING THE VAN UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS!
On the other hand, if you really do have an oil pressure problem and you
have driven over 100 miles, you have huge problems and you might as well
keep driving as damage has already been done.

Cheers,
Bruce
