Unhappy Oil Light Intermittent

So driving my 04 Durango 4.7, every time I let up on the gas pedal my oil light flashes on the off, if I turn it will go on then off, if I go uphill or downhill same on then off, if I hit a bump in the road same. I have checked the oil level it is OK. I do have an exhaust leak from the manifold bolt, which I will be fixing but I want to fix this other problem first. Can any one help?

Do any codes show up or does the 'check engine light' come on?

There was a recall on the 2004 for the wiring (see above link). You can go to www.dodge.com and in the upper right of the screen is 'for owners' icon. On the next page is a section on the left side that you can plug your VIN in to determine if your vehicle was recalled,

You could try to replace the sensor as well.

No recalls - FF
Oil pressure sensor? - hydrashocker

Update: Once the vehicle is warm at idle for 15 minutes, the oil light comes on and stays on... the notification beep comes and goes every few seconds... I will check for some type of loose or grounded wire, because it is only really bad when turning or hitting a bump in the road.

Update: I changed my oil and oil filter, problem solved. The oil was too thin causing the sensor to go haywire... thanks to all that had info for me.
