Default 1991 honda civic dx oil light turning on with hard turns and hard braking sometimes

When I brake really hard or turn really hard my oil light turns on. What's wrong? I've also been having issue with my car registering that it's in park, I'll throw it in park and it takes a second for it to light up or I have to press the brakes

The oil level is fine but I do have a small oil leak near the motor head

Then the oil level is NOT fine, obviously, so, fix the leak, overcompensate a little with more oil, and you'll be fine.
