Default Oil Light Is On

My oil light came on last night. I have read the manual and it says not to drive the car when this light is on.

Anyone know what the problem may be?

The light is triggered by low oil pressure.

Either low oil in which case you may have damaged your engine, a falling pump in which case you may have damaged your engine or an internal issue in which case you've already damaged your engine.

Best lof luck with it.

Sorry mate but you did ask.

I sprinkled a few "may"'s in there to help soften the blow. Genuinely hope you got away with it.
