Oil Leak

I Have A Little Problem With An Oil Leak. When I Park At An Angle With The Front Of The Truck Facing Down It Leaks. If I Park It On A Flat Surface It Does Not Leak. When I Check The Oil There Is No Difference In Level So I Have No Idea What To Do And Need Help....... Please Any Thoughts Would Help Alot. Also I Have A Problem With The Fuel System. I Have A Wicked Diesel Fuel System And If I Park It At An Angle With The Front Facing Down It Will Start Fine, But I I Park Level And It Sit For A Few Hours Then I Have To Prime The Fuel Pump Any Thoughts.... Also I Would Like An Explanation On Why If I Pump The Gas Pedal A Few Time It Starts Just Fine. Thank You.

You're going to need to look for the leak with the front facing down...be sure to safely park the truck in 1st gear, parking brake set and wheels blocked with proper wheel blocking devices.

I'm not familiar with your fuel system but it reads like you have an air leak between your lift pump and fuel tank that lets the lift pump lose prime.

What recent work has been done just prior to the hard start problem?

No explain here for your accelerator pedal stomp quick start...sorry.
