Default 88 GT Gauge questions.

Hi i bought a 88 5.0 gt on friday and i am going to build the car but i have to drive it as a daily driver for the next two months. So i have a few questions.
The fuel gauge dose not work so what would you guys to to see whats going on with out droping the tank? Question number 2 the oil pressure gauge is all over the place. At a idle it reads nuthing or it jumps all over the place but when i am driving the car it reads good. There is a oil leak that i need to find where it is coming from its on the drivers side i think it might be a blown valve cover gasket or might be somthing else. What i am asking is what could be going on with the gauge?
