Had a leak on the T5 was the oil return so replaced gaskets slow leak stopped. Had the low pressure light come on dipped the car and only a mm or so from full, any ideas!!??

If you're lucky it'll be your oil pressure sensor, if not, then it'll be the oil pump.

sensor is at the front middle of the engine down low.
You can just see it above the bottom of the dipstick in this picture.

So you guys are more experienced with these engines. What's the likelihood of a duff oil pump ? It's got 155000 on the clock full history with detailed oil services every 5000 with 10/40w.
