get it checked. In the US anyways, by the time an oil light comes on your engine is a goner.

If your oil light is coming on on corners it means you only have about quart or less of oil left in the engine. As you turn the little bit of oil swishes around in the pan and the sensor is uncovered with oil for a bit and light comes on. As car levels out oil does and sensor turns light off again.

Id check your oil level first. More than likely your oil change is past due. Or your leaking oil.

Only if you keep driving. I've had the light come on several times, haven't hurt a motor yet.
