An flashing oil light could be caused by three things; a bad sensor switch, a shorted wire on the sensor switch or low oil pressure. If it is the later, that is a bad sign. Does the light flash only at idle or even at higher engine speeds? In either case it is not good. You can disconnect the wiring at the switch to see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't then you know where to look.
