The WBX is a bit twitchy regarding oil levels. The place to start is to get the oil level down to between the oil level marks. I run mine at the halfway mark down to the lower mark. Check to see that the connection at the pressure switches are secure. The easy one to reach is the one down by the crank pulley at the rear of the vehicle. I had problems with my oil light/buzzer and it was the connection to the pressure switch at the rear. Whee to go from there? I don't know. Maybe some of the other list members can help here. Good luck. John Rodgers 88 GL Driver
