oil leak cel light please help!
My 97 ps has had an oil leak for a while but i cant figure out where it is coming from. It is on the passenger side and is not a valve cover leak. Could it be leaking from where the dipstick tube meets the oil pan? I noticed last week when driving after 100 miles the cel came on. After pulling over and getting fuel it wouldnt start. My wife was following me and we push started it with no problem. Back on the road the cel light came on after about an hour of driving? I dont know if these two problems are related or not. Out of all my Ford trucks this one is my favorite and want to fix this problem.Any suggestions are appreciated.

Where are you seeing the oil on the passenger side? at the back of the motor or front?
there are plugs on the front and back of the oil rail in the head the plugs have o rings in there that are known to leak and because it is high pressure oil it will leak alot may be the cause of the CEL how is the oil level are you losing lots of oil?
