Default oil level indicator kit?

Anyone know of anyone, who sell some sort of kit, that I could install on an oil pan to indicate when the oil level is low on my car. maybe with a warning light or something?

Currently I have a very oil drunken engine that likes to drink oil. I have to keep adding oil, and I am sick of dealing with the dip stick... Im looking at building a new engine and I will install a new pan, and want to cover all my bases. it would be so much eaisier to deal with if it just lit up and I knew I needed oil.

The later C4 come with a "low oil" sensor.

You might be able to use a late model pan and sensor.
Or an aftermarket pan that's tapped for the sensor.

I don't know if it's on/off or actually gives you a level reading.
