Dash warning indicator?

Someone asked about a warning light coming on briefly with a left turn. 

First thought was obviously low power steering fluid  but why only on left turn?

They described the warning light as looking like an upside down cup with water running out???  I was worried it may oil as it sloshes about in the sump.

Anyone any ideas?  My own van only has basic warnings and of course, I have never seen low oil.

Been looking through this lot :-

(Wouldn't fancy that dash.  )

I can't think of anything other than borderline low oil sloshing in sump that might be triggered by turning left.

Re: Dash warning indicator?

I've definitely had the low oil light come on going round a corner, but it was really low when that happened. Easy to check the dipstick. Could also check coolant level.

Was it red or amber?

I think it's the low coolant but he said he had checked that. 
He probably checked the washer.

Thanks for the suggestions.
