Is your oil low? If the oil is low it will throw an oil light, also if there is low oil pressure then the light will come one.

Low oil level, oil pump failing, bad sending unit or bad connection between the sending unit or the light.

the oil level is fine and i have the sending unit zip tied and taped so i dont think its that either so then it might be my oil pump because people keep telling me it might be the presure so i should go that rute?

Check everything over, it does not hurt to have the peace of mind that all possible issues could be checked for fault.
