Sounds like it's in need of major TLC.
1) Fix the exhaust leak. That will cause high fuel consumption.
2) Give it a full tuneup with all filters, cap, rotor, wires, plugs and all fluids. Sounds like it has not seen service in years.
3) Scan the computer for trouble codes. Check the links in my signature file for some ideas and procedures.
4) That being said, sounds like a stuck float or other carburetor woes. A rebuild is likely in your future.
Start there and let us know what you find.
BTW: There is no Delta 89. It's either a Delta 88 or an Oldsmobile 98/98 Regency .
Also the engine size of the vehicle would be a help.
