Most likely sender faulty failing that will be shorting to earth from dash to sender somewhere most likely where goes through bulkhead this is assuming your oil circulation is ok which I suspect it will be.

First just disconnect the wire off the sender, light I am sure will extinguish if stays on is getting earth from elsewhere. Pretty sure sender is same as Pinto.

wot is it saying the psi is

So long as it fits the senders are all a very similar pressure anyway so will be fine, and most 1/8 NPT.
As said though most likely the sender, just be aware they are not unknown for doing this shortly before falling to bits and the plastic part breaks letting all the oil out!!
