Maybe it's making sure you're hangin on to something... or at least your passenger.

Oil level? I know my 87 951 will flash that light if the oil level gets low.

+1. I believe the light comes on at a quart low...perhaps you are almost there and the car is letting you know?

The red "!" light comes on if there is a problem with any of the critical systems on your car, including the following scenarios:
1. E-Brake is on.
2. Brake fluid is low.
3. Brake pads are low.
4. Oil pressue is low.
5. Oil level is low.
6. Temp is too high.

If the "!" light came one, there should have been another warning light on your dash lit up, unless a bulb is out.

I strongly suggest that you NOT run your car until you figure out what is causing the warning light to go on. Could be a relatively minor issue (brake pads are low) or a major issue (low oil pressure)

where is the brake fluid resavoir sp? and the brakes squeek, but i assume it's cause they are some hard racing compound...(PO)
