The product you need is a Castrol Product; HMSO...Hydraulic Mineral Steering Oil. The leak is pretty common and you might be lucky and tighten the hose clamps.

Check the fuel pressure, the electric in tank fuel pump may be sticking.

Did you install a new fuel pump? Because the fuel level sender is part of the pump. There are hoses that connect to vapor recovery from the tank check and make sure they are not lose. Take the cap off and clean where it threads in. I have seen where gunk builds up and does not let the cap seat properly because it isnt going all the way in.get a new cap at the dealership. I bought new caps at the parts store and the light still came on.got the correct one at dealer and as soon as i started my car the light went off .

Never owned one but maybe your car is Vapor locked...It's when your gas tank pressure becomes greater than your fuel pump..It's caused from years of over filling your gas tank...Your car is designed to burn vapors. But gas goes down the line instead and clogs up your canister meant to filter fumes...Then it builds pressure up in the gas tank. When the pressure in your tank becomes greater than your car...It shuts off and want start back until the pressure has gone down...If this is the problem just loosen your gas cap...it releases the pressure immediately...You usually will hear a suction sound when you open your gas cap....Hope this helps...It could be the problem...maybe not...But something you might not think about or know
