oil light = no oil pressure. no oil pressure while engine running = possibly major engine damage.. so don't drive the car until you know. possible oil pump gear.. i do'nt know. whats done to the car?

if it aint knocking yet, then it might just be the sending unit going bad.

Definately check oil level when cool, not right after just running it. If good, I would go ahead and replace the oil pressure sending unit. Its only ~$11.00 from Honda/Acura.
