Some oil in the case probably helps with it starting and running.

Sounds like you need to move checking for air leaks in the fuel lines and

I did have a leaky fuel line between the tank and first filter that needed
replaced. That was done a week ago or so.
However, I think one major problem with starting came from having very
little to no oil in the crankcase. I don't know if the leak was faster than
I thought, or if there wasn't much oil in there when I bought the car, but
there was not enough in there on Saturday to wet the dipstick. Added a
little over a gallon of Rotella and now there is *black* oil on the
dipstick. She's been starting a little better ever since.
