oil pick up prob

[theconrodkid]

ive chopped my alfa for a cinqucento sporting,runs great but the oil light takes a few seconds to go out after its been standing for some time,when doing fast right handers or under heavy breaking the light can flicker.
i reconed it was a pickup prob as the level was right,added a litre of oil and light dosnt come on when it shouldnt.
dropped the sump expecting to find the pick up pipe cracked/loose but all seemes in order,just replaced the seal.any other ideas please?????

i found the prob,some numpty main dealer had "looked after" the car from new,every job they had done(ive got the bills)they cocked up,they had replaced?the oil pump and used bathroom sealer for sump joint???,one screw that holds the halves of the pump together was loose causing it to suck air,corse add a litre of oil and the joint is under the oil level and prob goes away.
