Default Problem with gauges

I just got a 97 camaro and it has a problem with the oil gauge and temperature gauge. The oil gauge is pegged out all the way to the right and doesn't move to the left at all, and the temperature gauge doesn't seem like its working properly as it never goes past about 1/8th of the way up. The rest of the gauges work fine. I can take pics if this doesn't make sense, but I'm just trying to figure out how to possibly fix this.

When you turn off the ignition do either of the gauges return to rest?

The oil one doesn't, but the temp gauge does.

When I bought the car they were like this. The oil pegged and temp not moving much but the temp gauge is read different then my past camaro so I think that actually may be fine, just need to fix oil gauge. And watching it today it moves a hair or so to the left when I turn it off but goes pegged out when I turn it on.
