Wiring, what did I do?

Hey fellas, I'm almost ready to fire my LS swap, I've noticed my battery keeps draining while the car sits, and today I was hooking up my standalone gauges and I noticed that once I hook up the sending wire on my oil pressure and my water temp the gauges spike all the way up, I've noticed while working on the car I seem to feel electricity transfer to me when I pressed hard against anything metal. What's the deal here?

Weak battery? Sticking oil sender?

Depin the orange wire from the sender and see if the voltage jumps when you plug it in still (3 wire OPSU only)
