On startup. key in 2nd position. oil gauge shows the oil level.
The problem is it randomly shows different levels. Sometimes on the white mark just before the red and other times half way. It used to just sit on the white mark near the red. The oil is correctly topped up and the car is driven each day.

nothing out of the ordinary I'm afraid, not unknown for the wiring to be damaged though.

the sensor moves everytime so i don't think the wiring is damaged.

where is the sensor located and how does it work?

The sensor seems very sensitive, where I normally park is good and flat, but anywhere with a bit of camber and I get low readings.
