Welcome to the EX forum! 
Tell us some more about the oil leak.
Which headers and Y pipe does it have and how do you like them?
What tunes from 5Star do you have? Do you tow with it?
What gears does the EX have?
What emblem is that on the front fender where the "Excursion" badge normally goes?
Where in the Keystone state are you? I'm in the Media area of Delaware County, very South East corner of the state.
Lots of questions....

They are a set of stainless mid length eBay headers and a 3 inch stainless y pipe love them I have a 93 performance 89 performance and 89 tow yes I tow cars around occasionally stock 3.73 needs 4.10 it's a Texas edition badge off a tundra some one slapped Amarillo seats and stickers on it before I bought it it has a Prius hybrid badge to which is mint I'm from wattsburg pa in Erie county right in the corner of the chimney about 5 miles from new York so total opposite
For that oil leak, check out the valve cover gasket for a possible origin.
I wouldn't move from 3.73s to only 4.10s, too close to really make a noticeable improvement. If you are going to swap in deeper gears go to 4.30s or 4.56 if you are running taller than stock tires, the 6.8 loves to rev a little to make its best power and deep gears make that happen. I'm spinning 4.88s with my 35"s for an effective 4.39 ratio and it handles our 12K TT very well towing all over the East. I do all of my towing on the 5Star 89 Performance tune, the shift strategy matches my driving style perfectly.
I guess someone didn't realize that Amarillo means yellow........and its also the name of that town in TX, all of the Amarillo pickups were of course, yellow.
