Intermittent Oil light flash

In the last week or so my car has developed a new behavior where it randomly flashes the oil light while driving. Seems to become more frequent if driving hard and I am getting engine cut outs as well. It started happening about the time I unblocked my pcv valve but I know it needs rocker cover gaskets as well which are on their way now. I have yet to see what condition the turbo is in and could possibly be leaking oil from that section. Has anyone had issues with their car after unblocking the pcv system?

Have you checked the oil level? Silly question but have to ask

Being that it is oil pressure you should probably treat it as worst case scenario. Does your oil pressure gauge drop or anything like that? The 2 are from the same source so if the oil pressure gauge is doing something odd, possibility is its the sensor or actually momentary oil pressure loss

If it were me, I'd get a gauge to plug in and check the oil pressure, if its O.K then look at either the dash or oil pressure sender
