I was driving my truck today (08 GTS - Manual) and the oil light came on. I drove it straight home and the dipstick showed that there was a little bit of oil and the second time we pulled it out it was pretty dry. The truck drives fine and there are no funny sounds. I've had it for about a month. Should I get it checked out? Could there have been any damage?

How much oil did you have to add to get the level correct? These Cayenne's use oil and it's completely normal operation (average of 1 litre per 1000km or so). The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is fueled up if possible. I doubt there is any damage as the engine uses 9 quarts of oil for a change. I would make sure there is no visible leaks present (no oil on driveway etc), and keep an eye on the level for the next little while before bringing it in (costly expense for nothing probably).
