I have an LS1 take-out engine that I used to swap into my '98 Camaro when I took out the v6. The wires going to the oil sensor were pinched/cut all the way through.

I just twisted them together and taped them up. (so the oil sensor doesn't really report anymore) The light stays off now.

Your's is probably cut and sometimes touching and sometimes not.

The pair of wires was brown if I remember right. And they were pinched near the starter.
