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.
