need help with a diagnosis

[jlagnese at massed.net (John S. Lagnese)]

Does this happen at all engine speeds, or above 2000 rpm?

Hello fellow listers can you help me out with a diagnosis?  The last 2 times 
I have driven the rocc about 20 minutes into the drive the oil light and 
seatbelt(I think the other was seatbelt) light will come on.  When this 
first happened I thought, shit I'm low on oil 'cause the engine burns about 
? quart every 100 miles or so.

But the oil was not as low as I thought it would be.  Hmmm

So today when the lights came on again I was perplexed again :), the temp 
gage in the center consol gets to about 90 cels, and the temp gage on the 
dash goes up and down but stays in the lower quarter, and the light does not 
come on.

When I popped the hood the upper radiator hose seemed to be a little 
swollen.  And when I opened the radiator the level looked low.  So I fired 
up the engine again and poured in some more fluid as the engine was running. 
It took about 8oz and I could tell the water was moving 'cause it was 
squirting out the hole at the tope of the radiator.

Any ideas why the oil light is coming on?  Is it safe to drive the 16 miles 
home in 90 degree heat.

Thanks
