No owner's manual - few questions

I just purchased a used 95 XLE, V6, and need a little info if any of you would care to help.

1. What is the capacity of my gas tank. Just filled up on the half mark and got in 8.9 gallons.

2. This car is cherry, inside and out, however, two days after taking delivery, I'm getting a small oil drip from about six inches in from the left front tire. It just got new valve cover gaskets and an oil change. Do these cars retain spilled oil and drip for a few days like some others do? I didn't spot any drips at the dealer after it had sat all night. What could be above the left axle that could be leaking?

3. Do I have heated seats. It does have power seats. Is it standard or an option on the XLE, or even available?

Other than that, the motor runs great, smooth, powerful and quiet, and the tranny is like silk after 168000 miles, someone took very good care of this one. The leather is even in excellent shape. Someone did a lot of highway driving. I was relieved after spending some time reading posts that red coolant is a good thing. Any help will be appreciated and I look forward to sharing info on this excellent forum.

Thanks for the replies. After a week, I'm guessing the tank is 18 gallons. Found the leak. It's the steering rack. Put in a bottle of Lucas power steering stop leak 150 miles ago and it has slowed a lot. Better than the $750 rack replacement. I know some have had trouble with their power steering using stop leak, but the Lucas stuff was recommended by many mechanics that I checked with, and a call to Lucas confirmed that it is compatable with the DexronIII Toyota calls for in tank. Tasty stuff that DexronIII, got a small taste siphoning out the old fluid. Scope cuts it well.
