A great way to test for exhaust leaks & clear your combustion chamber deposits at the same time is a Seafoam treatment. https://www.f150forum.com/f33/how-se...-1991-a-31505/ Allow 15-20 mins. soak time before restarting.
Skip adding it to the crankcase unless you want to de-sludge your engine also (which is a good idea also).
Even if you don't find a leak (if you have any, you'll see em/ check your manifolds too), your idle quatity will improve & you'll have better throttle response when it's over.
