Ok, tonite I was racing a bmw z3 in my turbo d15b civic and everything was fine shifting from 1-2,2-3, but then shifting 3-4th gear the oil light comes on so i immediately pull into the nearest gas station and turn off the car and pop the hood, i let the car sit for like 10 mins then i checked the oil and the oil was above the highest mark on the dipstick. I had just changed my oil like 3 days ago and i put in 3 1/2 quarts. Thinking that was too much oil now. When i was driving it back home i would hear some kind of noise, dont know what. i popped the hood when i got home and it sounds like its coming from the valvetrain but i could be wrong. Anyone know what I should do and am I fucked or what. Just got into college and dont have much money and this is my only transportation to and from school.

also i took off the oil filler cap and i didnt see any oil or no oil splashed out as it normally would if the car was running. This mean the sending unit is the cause of this?

before this happedn my car would idle really low like 600-700 rpms like it was going to shut off. Hope this helps anyone who might know why its doing this.

check oil pressure first

Is it a ticking sound? Clacking sound? Knocking sound?

also tried this, unscrewed the oil feed line going to the turbo and started the car, the idea was to see if any oil would come out of the feed line and nothing did, does this mean that the oil pressure sensor is bad, and the feed line was completely dry. So my guess is the pump is gone, i really hope i didnt ---- up a bearing. If I was to replace the oil pump and I did mess up a bearing what could happen?
