low oil indicator

[dlmrun2002]

Recently after letting my 325iX sit for a few weeks I get a FALSE low oil indicator when the nose is pointed down hill in my driveway. Doesn't do it with nose pointed up hill and never did it before. Oil on flat ground is NOT low... Any tips?

Thanx

The level sensor may be gunked up. Pulling and cleaning it may help.

i have the same problem, where is the sensor located?

On an M20 the level sensor is mounted in the top of the part of the sump that sticks on on the left side of the engine.
