Hook up a mechanical test gage to the oil pressure port where the oil pressure sender goes and verify the oil pressure is at least 20-30 pounds at idle engine hot. If the oil pressure checks ok on the test replace the oil pressure sender. You should be able to borrow this gage from Autozone or O'reilly auto parts with a deposit and a credit card.

If you are getting leaks in the rubber hoses that connect to the fuel rails in the engine compartment, you need to replace the hoses. The collars on the vehicle end that are crimped on can be removed by carefully using a hack-saw to split them. Cut just deep enough to split the collar, otherwise, the tube will get damaged. Then get some rubber hose that is rated for high pressure fuel. (your local parts store should be able to help you with this.) Make sure the hose is pushed onto the tubes as far as they will go then use screw clamps to secure the hoses on both ends.
