If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned to see if there are any trouble codes stored. Most parts stores will do it for free.

i've seen numerous problems with oil pressure. i'd suggest removing the oil pan to check/replace the pick up tube. not sure how this will cause the cel to come on... have it scanned and tell us what you have along with engine size.
