Is the (voltage?) range spec for the high pressure oil warning circuit on L board really so sensitive that a presumably small increase in resistance in a badly corroded high pressure brown ground path wire will cause the alarm to sound? Or maybe that badly corroded wire sends a "dirty" or inconsistent ground path which in turn causes alarm to sound?
