By way of introduction, I've owned my 1992 Bentley Turbo R for just over 5 years. Bought it with 73000 miles and am up to 95000. It's my daily driver for my daily 10 mile commute. As many of the people here would attest - your mood instantly improves once you get behind the wheel.

After I bought the car I spent about $13000 getting it in a tip top shape. The next two years were very easy - under $1000 in repairs per year. The last year I spent about $8000. Altogether the repairs come to about $25000 over the last 5 years.

Now - to the problem at hand. For the last 6 months or so the mineral oil warning light comes on after I accelerate and almost immediately disappears. The break pads are in good shape and the mineral oil doesn't leak; the levels are fine.

Any ideas? My repair shop - not a bentley specialist - can't figure it out.

Any advice would be highly appreciated!
