New owner 2002 BMW x5 4.6is stop engine oil pressure warning wtf :(
So I picked up a 2002 BMW x5 4.6is "reverse slips" it's been sitting for the past two years owner couldn't afford to fix it, but anyways I'll get to my problem. I noticed small puddle of oil and it was smoking for the first days I got it. but it seems to have all cleared out. And now I'm getting a stop engine oil pressure service light. any help will be greatly appreciated I've searched the forum and couldn't find anything realated to my problem so lemme apologize in advance if this problem has been posted in past.

Do you think it could possibly be the oil separator ?

Highly unlikely.

Check your oil level. If it is really low, the oil pump is sucking air. If it isn't really low, it could be a bad sender unit.

quick google search. might want to start reading at least to have an idea of what it might be. i had this once in high altitude are but had to just shut off and restart the car to get rid of it. never seen it since.

Bad oil pressure sender (and it can leak, which could be your oil drops) or low battery, which can cause multiple false warning lights
