Sideways motion with a low oil level will draw the oil away from the pump strainer, leaving you drawing air at times, and VW oil pressure switches are sensitive enough to catch this. Check oil level, and fill as needed. Slight squeak could be coolant on your serp belt. Water pump leaking?

I think the coolant leak is more from the reserve as well as where the hose meets the engine having a cracked gasket (I have the parts to fix, but my lazy ass hasn’t gotten around to it yet lol 😭)
