Welcome here tastypotato, and good luck with your project. I'm sure you can set up your goal much higher than 40MPG, and you'll achievie it!

Regarding oil leak, wash your engine completely and drive it slowly or idle for couple of minutes. You should see where the leak source is placed. And slowly, because air flow won't smear the oil all over the engine.
