Oil Leak

[deerman2701]

I leak a little bit of oil, more so when my truck is facin down hill. But it still leaks while on flat..


What are the common places for this leak? The underneath is caked in oil and grim.

Also is it bad for the truck to just be running straight piped.

I just have the header to the cat to a straight pipe.

the oil pan gasket is a common place for the 2.3 to leak,also the front and rear main seals,i belive ford redesigned the pan gasket in 91 to stop the leaks,should easily work on yours,and no it wont hurt youre truck to go straight piped.
