RE: <E30> oil level sensor

[Thi VanAusdal <tvanausdal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, that is it.  It is well damped - the oil in the sensor is
inside a cylinder with small holes so turning left/right does
not make the light come on when the level is close - you must
sustain a low oil condition a few secs to make it light up.

 I'm not sure, but there looks to be a sensor down low on the left
side of the engine that pokes down into the oil pan.  I'd guess that's
it.  It's kinda hard to see down there though.
