Lightbulb Help with Oil Indicator - 1000rr

Hi, I am new to this forum, although I have been following some discussions here. I seem to have an issue with my oil indicator.
I have a 2008 CBR 1000rr. Due to a stupid accident two days ago the bike was gently laid down on the driveway (on the left side). There was no actual “drop” and it went down very easy (even the frame slider has no scuff marks). Liquid came out a little bit, and my first guess was that it was gas. However, after a closer look it looked more like oil or coolant (the oil was changed two days ago, so it is still very clear, so it was hard to say). I took the fairings off, and cleaned the bike from the inside, as the liquid (oil/coolant??) instantly got baked from the heat and turned into this gooey black substance. The bike seems fine but my oil indicator won’t shut off! I’ve checked everything (coolant, brake fluids, oil) and everything seems to be fine, and at level. But the Red Oil Indicator stays on!!
Is it possible that a tip sensor is acting up and needs to be shut down??
Please assist with Any suggestions??? Much appreciated!!

Did the connector come off the oil pressure switch or did the switch get damaged? A broken switch will leak.....

Hi Demon,
I have checked the connector but everything seemed fine. Decided to take the bike to Honda, and on the way to the dealer, the light went off! So I guess it just needed to go for a run, lol
thanks for the help, much appreciated
