Check Engine Light when idling in park?

OK, guys. I'm a pizza delivery dork. LOL Anyhow, I noticed while on deliveries, I'll park the car but leave it running and run up to the door. I get back and the check engine light's on. But if I drive away, the light goes off about 15 seconds later, and will sometimes go on and off while in park (I noticed this last night while sitting in a parking lot with a lovely lady )

Now my dad thinks it's the new O2 sensor I installed. He said it might not be tight enough. I think it's the front main seal having a tiny leak and oil pressure drops while it's not revving high.

What do you guys think?

It is probably not the oil leak. Check the codes to see what comes up. Don't worry about code 12. That is normal.
