Check Engine oil level on cluster, oil light flashing.

I'm currently away at school and my sisters car blew a head gasket, so I told her to take mine until I come back and replace the head gasket. She starts it up after it's been sitting for a couple just over a month and gets a Check Engine Oil Level message showing up on the cluster and the oil light flashing at a steadily rate. Oil level was fine, and the oil in it was done a couple thousand miles prior, with an acura oil filter. She's driven it about 30 miles and no issues so far. Is it safe to say that the pressure switch or the level sensor may be bad? Or am i looking at a bigger issue here? 119k miles on the clock.. Thanks in advance for any help. This kinda stuff gets frustrating when you're away from home lol

She said light went off and no more issues, so i'm guessing it was just a glitch.. Told her to go take it in to the shop and get the oil changed and pressure checked to be safe.
