Problems

Ok so I bought a 99 ext cab 4x4 ranger and it has 146,000 on the ole 3.0. latley I have been having a couple problems.

1. when stoped or rolling slowly ( like trying to paraell park) and the wheel is at turned all the way eigther direction, the oil pressure gauge goes nuts. jumps from no pressure to half way repeditely. it will do it until I back off the stering wheel a little. no idea what that is about

2. when rolling down the highway after about 10 min, the temp gauge starts to read hot not in the red but close enough to scare me. coolant is going somewhere but not even a drip on the garage floor and oil looks good, but the resevoir is empty. any ideas? Also when i stop the temp goes back down half way.
