You probably know this allready but check the level. Sometimes if its a little low it will flash on at high RPM due to lack of oil on the sensor. Otherwise check the sensor itself.

Is the flashing while idling or at higher rpm's. If it flashes at idle, the idle speed may be too low.

Loose sensor wire - the screw is so tiny, it's easy to loosen.
Defective sensor.
Oil pump faultering.
Nothing to play games with - GET IT FIXED!!!
