I had the pressure relieve valve stick on a 1991 9000T and ruin the engine. By the time the light came on it was too late. The idiot light comes on at a very low pressure. I put a pressure guage in my next one. I think the cap for the oil pressure relieve valve is 18mm. It is located in front of the crankshaft pulley, and you can take it out after removing the rubber access panel in the wheel well. I would definately check this first. It will be scored if it is sticking probably. There is a spring behind it.
