It can be the sending unit is leaking or it can be a a leaking oil filter, oil drain plug, rear main seal, valve cover gasket, or any number of other leaks. Inspect the engine and find the source of the leak.

What could be the reason that the fuel gauge in a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu doesn't work?
Check for power and ground to the sending unit. If they are good then you have a bad sending unit.
How do you test the fuel sending unit to see if it is bad or the dash gauge is bad?
On most American made cars you can test the sending unit by removing the wire attached to the sending unit at the tank and ground or touch to the tank itself. If the needle on the gauge goes to full, the sending unit is registering properly. If it does not move it could also indicate the wire has been severed between the tank and the guage.

Is there a good quality replacement for the fuel gauge sending unit on a 1963 Corvair?
First thing I would check is to see if there is a good ground from the fuel tank sending unit to the frame. If there is not a good ground the gauge will not read properly. This is a common problem. If you are certain that the sending unit is bad try Clark's Corvair Parts at www.corvair.com. Page 69 of their catalog I think is where you will find it.

How do i fix the Gas gauge 92 b2200?
Simple check is to ground the fuel sending wire at the fuel tank.If the gauge reads FULL then it is a bad fuel sending unit and you need to drop the fuel tank to replace it.If the gauge reads empty when you ground the wiring then it means you have a bad fuel gauge.I would lean strongly towards the sending unit be bad my 87 the gauge started reading about 1/4 tank less before it failed.
