Roger: Thanks for getting me those codes. I printed them and went to my 99F150. Started to look at various hoses, etc. I finally found one small hose that had a small crack in it causing the leak! Went to Advanced Auto (Usually go to AutoZone but the counter was full and the Advanced guy originally read the codes for me) and bought some Ventilation high temp hose, cut it, and replaced the bad section. Also bought a new air filter. Took battery cable off, installed parts, and cranked her over. The check engine light went off. I started and stopped her about 3 more times and no light! Hope that takes care of it until something else goes on this 178,000 mile truck.
Thanks for your help and thanks to whoever started this website! Very helpful!!!
