If your PCV valve is going bad you'll have increased crankcase pressure resulting in oil leaking from anywhere it can go. Go to the local ford dealership and pick up a motorcraft PCV valve, they're like 10 bucks and it never hurts to get it replaced if you haven't recently. I wouldn't recommend getting it anywhere else. I just did mine this weekend and it stopped leaking oil (from who knows where) and improved my idle quite a bit as well. Try that as a simple fix and if it doesn't work, at least you have a new PCV valve.

Oh, and by the way, before I replaced that valve, I had smoke coming from my dipstick and my breather hose.
