Oil Puddle
2008 Ford F250, Recently losing power and MPG, last night it was overheating, made it home. Woke up this morning and found an n"oil explosion" under the truck and under the hood on the left side. What could this be?

Have you had a chance to crawl under the truck and locate the source of the leak?

If you have that much oil, you need to do deep cleaning, refill the rig and have someone start it for a moment at a time. Wear glasses, you'll find the source. Let us know.
Did you just change your filter (oil filter) ???
Any recent maintenance??

any oil warning lights...I think its an oil drop light on the dash? did the engine sound like someone was shaking a tool box?
check the oil level first...then see if the leak is from the front of the engine....near the crank pulley.....there are 4 bolts that secure the oil pump and the bottom 2 have a track record of coming loose....if it is loose...re-torque it...then...pull you pressure relief valve and clean it.
