The thermal oil level sensor is setting the yellow oil can on, ignore it. The stalling is possibly due to a tear in the air boot from the air mass to the throttle body. #14 in this link for the oil level sensor: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AV13&mospid=47717&btnr=11_2187&hg=11&fg=10
