What  would be the most likely cause of the temp/press light to come on 
during hard  left turns.  Fist time this has ever happened, and only in hard left  
turns, twice.  Not sure if would happen when turning right as I made no  hard 
right turns.  Appears to be oil pressure, not temp obviously, car  was running 
great.  Run about 1/2 quart low, and have an Offy deep pan,  with 1 extra qt 
capacity.  Checked oil level and is about where it  normally is. Suggestions?  
Thanks in advance!

First check the wiring. Also, when you installed the Offy pan, did you drop  
the oil pick-up down to the "new bottom" so it could pick oil out of the  pan 
down there? If you didn't, there is no reason good to be running the pan. It  
just lengthens the time the engine oil takes to heat up. It still gets just as 
 hot, it just takes longer to get there. And you get no benefit from the  
increased oil capacity. If you did drop the pick-up, check the wiring again!
