lol first its DAMN that is unless the beavers that made a dam caused your oil light to come on Id check you sensors, but don’t drive it, it might be right that something is messed up... maybe the infamous sludge problem

well if it is the pump goin then if you drove it it would realy **** its **** up, but its hit or miss to what it is with out a vag com........ you could chance it if you needed it that bad but i dont think I would till i knew what was up.... like my oil temp guage ate **** last month and i didnt drive the car till i knew that it was just the sensor not a blocked flow or something else relativly bad

Don't drive it until the problem is diagnosed and corrected. Don't take the chance of making a small problem into a 5000 dollar engine rebuild.
