Default 87 GT vert - Oil leak, bad MPT...etc

Hey guys. I have a 87 GT, 5spd. It leaks oil after being hot, its not a constant leak, only after its been ran. Also I was wondering why I was only getting around 170 Miles per tank, Ive had other 5.0's that got 220+ per tank. I was told by a few here to do a tune up. Well here is the results of the tuneup that I can see so far.

With the tuneup i cleaned the IAC, throttlebody, replaced air filter and changed the pvc valve. My oil pressure doesnt drop into the 30's anymore like it used to, it says between 40-50. Im guessing this is a good sign. I have no results of the MPT test yet. There at seems to be a lot of oil n dirt mix near throttle body so Im guessing that and the screen was so dirty that oil was coming out the crankcase?

Also this fixed my idling problem, was idling around 1k-1300.. now im at a nice 7-800 =]

Ill let you guys know of the results of the MPT test =]

thanks for all your help!
