Low Oil Pressure - Likely cause?
Just tried to start my 2001 XJ8 this morning and the engine cut out immediately. Low oil pressure light came on - checked underneath the vehicle and low and behold there were a few small patches of oil. The oil is dripping from the sump but where its originating from I can't tell. I checked the dipstick however and the levels are fine, nearly at max after a new change about 3 weeks ago. Can anyone help me in suggesting what the causes might be or where to look? I am distraught!

After getting a mechanic round to have a look it turned out the dripping oil was a false flag, it was excess coming off from an apparently shoddy oil change. The battery was on its last legs and causing issues with the electrics, a replacement battery was installed and its right as rain. Thank you for the help.
