Had a leak on the T5 was the oil return so replaced gaskets slow leak stopped. Had the low pressure light come on dipped the car and only a mm or so from full, any ideas!!??

If you're lucky it'll be your oil pressure sensor, if not, then it'll be the oil pump.

sensor is at the front middle of the engine down low. You can just see it above the bottom of the dipstick in this picture. Image
