Intermittent oil warning light.
I have a 1997 Transport with a 3.4L, oil light stays on a few minutes after ignition, then goes off when engine heats up. Very small spotty oil stains on the ground, oil level is full on dipstick, thanks.

Re: Intermittent oil warning light.
Do you mean low oil level light (as opposed to pressure)? If the oil pressure (i'm assuming you have a gauge) reads normal, IOW, comes up right away to a normal level on start & stays in a normal range when at operating temps, good bet it's a prob related not to the oil, but the low oil level light setup.

Re: Intermittent oil warning light.
Might just be the sender at the oil pan, that's how my 96 3.4 is setup. I also have a strange prob with mine that I've read others have also but haven't seen a fix for it, .other than..
Mine basically is on all the time, but if I turn the ignition switch back once (from ignition setting) & then forward again to start, low oil level light then goes out the way its supposed to. It does the same though.. even when I disconnected the wires to the sender at the oil pan.  Tried a google search & there are a ton of scenarios out there regarding low oil level lights that act up (not just GM) & fixes. If I can't fix it, plan to just remove the low oil level light bulb.
