Blown Head Gasket

I agree with valve cover gasket but the more important question would be why it overheated. Was it just because it’s hot out or was it doing hard work?
It overheated because a line blew out on the radiator. I got the truck like this as a donor truck for my other ford rangers. I was told that the motor was locked up but it cranked after sitting for about a year. It has 278000 miles on it so it's not a new truck by any means but has a lot of good parts on it
If it was a head gasket, you'd be losing coolant.
I'd put a vacuum gauge on it. It should tell you if it's good or not.
A plugged pcv valve would cause an oil leak too.
Does it run like crap?

If the leak is above the exhaust manifold it is the valve cover gasket. Can't be the head gasket which is below the exhaust manifolds.
I'm not positive because l got this truck in this condition. But l believe it lost all of the coolant before it had a chance to mix in because of the fitting that blew out. There's no coolant in it at the moment. I wasn't going to add any till l fixed the hose
