Brake Light Turns on randomly while driving

Does anyone have the problem where the E-Brake Light on the dash board comes on and off while driving? What could cause a problem like that? Could it be possible that the ebrake is sticking and not disengaging?

Its not the Oil light that comes on its the Ebrake light that comes on. I highly doubt its oil.

Right, so it's either ebrake up or brake fluid low when that light comes on.

Had that happened to me before and it turned out that the brake fluid cap wasn't closed tight so definitely check like the others have suggested.
