The oil light came on today.
Checked the oil level, it was a bit low (but not below the minimum), so topped it up.
However, the oil light still comes on and when enginer is revved (I know, stupid thing to do) there is an oily patch next to the exhaust.

The car is 2 y/o and done 35K miles.

Any ideas?

Started the car today - warning light gone.
Took it to dealer anyway, so that they'll do diagnostic.

Your oil pick up pipe may be blocked, get the oil pressure checked, I would avoid dealers!!!

If it's slightly blocked your heading towards engine failure!!

May just be pressure sensor but you don't want to risk it!
