I was wondering what would make the low oil pressure light to come on taking hard left turns. This never happened before and it only happens on left turns its a 2001 Honda Accord Ex.

The oil level is fine and this only happens when you take hard left turns, we tried the same thing on right turns and speeding up and breaking hard but neither of those turned the light on. The light turns on and then off but stayed on for awhile once.

Any advice will be appreciated

Sounds like a oil pump or pickup issue. I have seen this on the foxbody 2.3 Mustangs. Have to replace the oil pickup tube and screen.

Thanks for the advice but do you know where either of these things are... Hopefully my dad will know. and also could it be a bad connection some where?

Pickup tube and screen should be located somewhere in the oil pan.

Check the wiring for any signs it has been rubbing. Sometimes the forces when turning will cause a wire to ground out somewhere. Could also be a "I am not a NASCAR canidate" warning.
