Checked oil level and it is OK. Oil tempature is fine.
Light sometimes goes off. Also hear a buzzing noise or humm that goes up in pitch as I speed up. Goes away when clutch is pressed in. Just recently had the oil changed. Light came on after I had driven about 200 road miles. Should I replace the pressure sensor and where is the sensor located?

Replace oil pressure switch as a 1st step

Oil Pressure Switch (1.8L) located On lower left side of engine, on oil filter housing.

Oil Pressure Switch (2.7L) located On lower left front of engine, on oil pan extension.
