Default oil sensor

The warning light came on couple times last week. It came on while I was driving but then went off couple minutes later. Is there anything I need to worry about? How much will that be if I need to replace it?

Default That requires immediate attention

The oil level sensor and its wiring is relatively low in the oil pan and might have been disturbed and/or failing. However, your symptoms are also identical to the oil pump failing. Assuming your oil is properly filled, you don't want to be ruining your engine driving on low oil pressure.

The warning light is the engine oil icon with the word "sensor" beside. So it is related to engine oil pressure?
