[DML] Oil Light

["trekkerlb" <TrekkerLB@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm still new at being my own mechanic, and reciently I have had the 
oil light come on, and does not turn off.  The oil pressure gauge 
indicate between 1/4 to 1/2, I checked and added some oil, but yet 
it stay on.  Is it possible to put a oil pressure gauge right into 
the sensors opening and take readings?  Any guess as to what it may 
be.  Unfortuneatly, the car had sat for some time, when I finally 
got it running this happened.

This leads me to another question.  While adding oil, I had spilled 
some onto the Cat - a fire started due to this, fortuneately it did 
not do any damage, other than scare me to death!  I had run the car 
for approximately 15-20 minutes, a co-worker thought that something 
was wrong because the cat was that hot - is he correct?  

Thanks for the help!
