It should go out when you start the engine again.

Have you changed the oil recently? That might help? I had that light come on, on my tdi topped it up, restarted the engine and it went out.

Or the strainer on the pick up pipe in sump may be a bit clogged reducing flow...

The strainer if blocked reduces oil pressure which would bring on the red oil light. The orange light is low oil level from the sensor in the sump.

I would be concerned about this!  Maybe sump off and check the pickup pipe before it comes a big issue.

    Might be a faulty level sensor on the sump too mind.
