Read the linked thread. It's easy to check the left side for leaks. The design flaw necessitates the replacement of the left sender unit because you have to use creative repair to fix it but you can fix for pennies (my auto-correct changed pennies to "pornos" funny enough to share)

I would recommend first fix the leaking siphon jet then test your DTE. If you can drive to zero you're done. If you can't get to zero or notice your right sender drops to zero with fuel on the left side means the pump is weak also needs replacing.

I used a knock off pump that cost me USD $120 from Amazon with a year warranty.

You can get a better actual pump by just replacing the pump itself but at this age I recommend replacing the whole sender unit.

The following thread describes how to fix the leaking siphon jet.
