is the light on all the time?
if it is coming on only under boost, that means the sensor is being tripped... around 18-19psi. Depending on the condition of the sensor.

The turbo gets it's oil from the thin hard line that comes around the back side of the head and attached to the top of the center section. The line from the bottom of the center section, back to the lower block is the return line.
If the WGA rod is sloppy as the turbo sits, then it is not adjusted correctly. Take the rod out of the hole at the WG pivot arm. It should be adjusted so that it is 1/2 the diameter of the rod short of going in the hole, In other words you need to have to pull the rod slightly to get it back in the pivot arm hole.
Like Travis said; Is the light on all the time or just during high boost?

Where I talked about the 1/2 diameter of the WGA rod above, I should have said 1/2 the diameter of the hole in the pivot arm.
