I need help asap please guys

I recentl;y topped up with oil as i have a little oil leak and since i have done that everytime i go round a right bend my handbrake warning light comes on !!

When i straighten up and after about 20 secs it goes off again till next time, i checked my brake fluid but it seems ok.

I don't know if the oil thing is just a coinsequense but its happened since..

Any ideas please guys and gals ??
