oil pressure warning light goes out .
b Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes
c Stop the engine, and let it stand for a few minutes,
remove the key.
d Check the engine for any leaks, and check the oil

check it straight after the engine has stopped, the oil level
indicated will be false as the oil is still distributed around the
engine and needs to fall.
