Default WB festiva engine issues

Evening all,

My mates festiva is having a few problems with his festiva....when you brake relativley hard, the oil light comes on then goes off when the g forces return to normal. Then in the engine bay there is oil all over the transaxle (more appeard over the past week)...and checking the oil via dipstick works when it wants to and doesnt seem accurate (somtimes doesnt show any, somtimes shows full.) Now as of today there is a loud ticking sound coming from the engine bay that speeds up with the revs.

So, does he need to fill up the oil? But oil light should remain on if its that low? And the ticking, the lifters? oil related perhaps?

Any thoughts are appreciated as im not to sure, im probobly completely wrong anyways Also the car has 170xxx kms on it. (is the car dieing?)

Thanks
