Gas Leak?

i was driving on the highway for a few miles when i got off it seemed harder to keep idle than before (dosnlt like to idle) anyways im at a stop sign and it dies, i wouldnt start up and gas was leaking along the driver side door, it didnt seem like it had fule pressure, would you figure it be fule pump or a hole in the fule line? any ideas at all

The fuel lines run along the drivers side, so I would first check the hoses and fuel filter under hood, then jack the car up and take a look underneath. Hopefully it is just a hose or the filter, so it is easy to replace.

As far as the oil guage goes, unless you were out of oil, you most likely had a problem with the oil sender, or the wire that goes to the sender came off. It is unlikely that the oil pump gave out in my opinion. But you should never be running with out any oil pressure, you should have pulled over to check right away.
