Thumbs down Another oil leak.

Well I did search and did not find what I was looking for.
To begin with I have a sudden oil leak. Just started yesterday. It appears to be coming from just under the head. Now I thought It might be vacuum pump. But I have a bunch of oil around the head. And dripping down the front.
there docent seam to be any oil in the antifreeze. And no antifreeze in the oil.
I have been a little worried about the head gasket. Could my head gasket be bad? Should I stop driving my truck till I get it fixed.
I do also have a little leak at the power steering pump but it is definitely a separate issue.
