hi and welcome

Green Light..Oil pressure light.. Check the oil as a starter

Also check the colour of the wire onto the green light as it could be the dynamo light and the oil pressure light have been swapped over.

I have a 66 912 also. Good cars very much under rated.

Regards

Your belt slipping would normally be the red light (not getting charge to the battery).

Firstly check the wiring and connects for the pressure sensor. Next you can check/replace the sensor. Might be worth while opening the filter canister and checking to see if you have any shinny bits in there!
