I don't know that there is a specific temp for the oil to cool to to be able to get enough ICP to start your truck, especially not knowing how severe the HPO leak is.

Eventually it won't start at all because the leak will worsen. I wouldn't put it off or you'll be paying for a tow on top of the repair.
