Ok, after a closer inspection the gas guage only works from full to half and than it is empty.
I notice some oil on the bottom of the engine. Didn't look like it was from the valve covers it seemed to be leaking further down the engine . Not a lot , but enough to get grimy .
Also on the bottom was some power steering fluid. It was kind of mixed in with the oil. Not a lot but enough to wipe off and see it on your hand.
Are these going to be major fixes(cost) of something I could do myself
?
Thanks

You will need to do some more investigating and determine where the leaks are coming from exactly. You can try several applications of Techron to your fuel tank and see if your fuel sender improves.

Other than these issues the car is immaculate inside and out. Previous owner did a great job making the car look like a Z06.

And if some Techron doesn't fix the gas gauge problem, you could be looking at an expensive repair.
