Question: Toyota Tercel Possible engline Problems: What's wrong?

Question: Oil light/Driving up hills issue/Reversing up hills (Sorry couldn't think of a specific question)

Hi. So, first things first. I drive a 1991 Toyota Tercel DLX that has approx. 133,000 miles on it.

My car has been having a number of issues. First, and foremost after driving my car about ten to fifteen minutes (doesn't matter how far) and when I bring it to a slowing stop or to a complete stop, the oil light begins immediately flashing [this is the only light that goes off however in this scenario]. I had it looked at by my father who has a reasonable understanding of cars, and he said that it's nothing pressure related. So, I'm not sure what to think, because sometimes in these scenarios the engine will shut itself off but the car runs mostly fine in just general terms of driving.

Second problem. For some reason my car has started having incredibly difficult issues with going up hills in reverse when just starting up to the point where I'm literally flooring the gas pedal and I'm not moving an inch in reverse.
-
Third problem (that just started today). My car had an incredibly hard time going up a hill again, but this time it was not in reverse, it got so bad that I actually started rolling backwards, and the hill really couldn't have been more steep than 35 degrees.
Please help?
