That is a Mazda box, the "R1" designation.
They leak out the top from some plugs.
They also use a hydraulic clutch set up, which if it's leaking from the concentric slave set up in the bell, will cause both issues.
You are pretty much stuck with a same trans replacement, unless you want to buy a $500 adaptor bell housing for a T5 or other trans.
These are common, and rebuild kits are not expensive. New trans or not, you have to fool with the clutch.
More info here, note the comments about different bell patterns for different engines, different ratios and starter positions--so be sure to find one from the same engine you have if it comes to that.

So is the hydro clutch internal then? The clutch cable goes into the trans, there doesn't appear to be a master/slave cylinder... also my dad says the synchros could be causing the wining due to them going out but he isn't too familiar with that type of clutch... I just want to be sure before i pull this damn thing out, thanks for your help.
Also, if you could, id like more info about the t5 swap. I don't really want some mazda bull**** on my truck, thanks again

Hhhmm, I must be full of beans on the bell or scattershield. Check this out:

Nothing wrong with the Mazda box, Ford owned a good chunk of Mazda, millions served in Rangers and F150s.
Pretty sure your clutch is hydraulic, no cable. The line you see is a hydraulic line. Trace it back, you should find a master cylinder.
