My oil light stays on but has plenty of oil in it. Is that the oil pump oil a malfunction in the light? And where is the oil sensor located?

Your oil pressure sending unit / switch is on the left rear side of the cylinder head.

You need to use a mechanical oil pressure gauge and make sure your gauge is correct. If the manual gauge shows low pressure than your pump is most likely shot.
