Red Light on Speedo?

Hello all I have a red light on my speedometer which will not go out, I am assuming its an oil pressure light? if it is why does it stay on oil is fine apart from slight leak around bottom pulley at front of engine could this cause this?

Any help gratefully appreciated ( I am new to all this )
