my mate had the same prob years ago and it turn out to be the petrol pump was leaking into the engine change it and it was fine after that, but he never lost oil pressure just has a strong smell of petrol every time he lifted the bonnet then when he did oil change noticed it was a lot thinner than normal and it smelt of petrol ?? you might have done some damage to your engine if you've run it with the oil light on ?I gave a quick answer to this in Bungles thread. Check for bubbles in the oil on the dipstick. There were other methods to check for fuel in your oil, can't quite remember them yet though.
Anyway, until you've ruled out the possibility of fuel getting into your oil, and therefore into your gearbox DO NOT run the engine, a sump full of petrol apparently makes a very good bomb!

These additives do not cure anything i'm afraid and, in my opinion are no better than a bodge done at mr and mrs bodge's garage in bodgeville. The problem is they just Hide the symptoms... they make the car easier to drive because they stop you worrying, but trust me the problem is still there.
