First time Ford owner

She needs a lot of attention however , the previous owner or owners tore her down mechanically.... The 4WD wont engage ~ It squeaks as it bounces ~ the exhaust needs to be replaced ~ As I inspected it even before I bought her I noticed that there is some oil gooped up by the plugs? and there looks like some leakage out of the rear axle? So, I am researching all about her so I can fix her up ...
