Oil light??

So, I've been enjoying my 5 speed, 4x4 van wagon until now....

Ive been experiencing an intermittent oil warning light, usually after steep grades and activity that gets the motor warmer than normal (never overheated). You can kill the ignition, restart, and the light clears for an undetermined amount of time, sometimes will illuminate again, sometimes doesn't. No, I haven't had a guage on it yet, but i'd sure figure if the dummy (zero psi) light comes on while it's running at speed, this motor would be toast, and it still runs fine ATM. Bad sending unit maybe?

Also, if someone could tell me how to bypass the level sensor to rule that out from being faulty as well, I'd appreciate it.
