engine swap?

i have a 94 ford f150 with the inline six motor and yesterday i noticed oil leaking out of the motor by the last fuel injector closest to the firewall. i wanted to know if this is an easy fix or if i should swap the motor with a another one or put a v8 into it ? if i put a v8 into it . how hard would it be ? what do i need to do it

ive never had a close look at an FI 300 but i would think the oil would almost have to be coming from the valve cover...BUT if you want a v8 this would be the perfect excuse to use on the wife. i will be glad to edit my post to say "your motor is screwed. v8 it now!" .lol. the v8 swap would be really easy cept for the FI part. you would need the ecm from the v8 and the wiring harness. will also need the v8 radiator,motormounts,exhaust manifolds and y pipe.maybe a flywheel if it is a manual tranny. automatic tranny for sure a flexplate,
