   (!) = Brake fluid low and/or Handbrake warning light
   
   [Oil Can] = Low oil pressure
   
   [Dip Stick] = Low oil level
   
   [Engine] = Engine management fault (or faulty sensor)
   
   I think from what you say, you mean the orange dip stick engine oil level light. It will flash for about 10 seconds after you start the car if its low. If it goes out like the airbag / abs light, then everything is OK. If it flashes and you have enough oil in, then youve probably got a faulty sensor.

   Sounds like a wiring fault, something to do with the alternator and the oil level sensor.. get them checked out.
