Peugeot 208 low engine pressure light

(repost because the pictures didn't upload) This morning when starting my 2020 Peugeot 208 1.2l it came up with the oil pressure warning light as shown. I checked the dipstick tonight once I got home because my car was parked on a slope this morning. The oil level is right in the middle of the lines which is leading me to worry that the issue is the wet belt degrading and clogging the sensor or something...

This is what the oil looks like from the dipstick and cap. Can anybody tell anything from this? I think it looks quite dirty but I'm no expert. The belt looks completely fine to me tok (if that's actually what I'm looking at through the oil cap).

It's done exactly 25,000 miles at 6 years old. No wet belt replacement as far as I've been told so it is likely due a replacement. I had it serviced two months ago and they never mentioned any issues.

Going to phone a dealer in the morning and no doubt they'll ask me to bring it in anyway. I may be getting worried over nothing and it just needs an oil top up but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Cheers in advance, I hope this post isn't too ramble-y.

Peugeot 208 low oil warnings

This morning when starting my 2020 Peugeot 208 it came up with the oil pressure warning light as shown. My driveway is on a slope so I drove the short distance to the train station, less than 5 mins, then checked the dipstick tonight once I got home to park on the level. The oil level is right in the middle of the lines which is leading me to worry that the issue is the wet belt degrading and clogging the sensor or something...

This is the oil sitting on the cap about 5 mins after turning the engine off but I've no idea what it's meant to look like. Can anybody tell anything from this?

The active safety brake fault light also came on once then disappeared but I don't think that's related. Both fault lights are intermittent and don't seem to come on every time I start the car but only the first time after it's been sitting a while.

It's done exactly 25,000 miles at 6 years old. No wet belt replacement as far as I've been told so it is likely due a replacement. Just looking to see if this is safe to drive the short distance to work or the garage or if it's a do not drive kind of situation.

Going to phone a dealer in the morning and no doubt they'll ask me to bring it in anyway. I may be getting worried over nothing and it just needs an oil top up but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Cheers in advance, I hope this post isn't too ramble-y.
