NEED HELP Max loosing back pressure and dripping oil

hey guys i have a problem, when i drive the car for about a hour or so and the engine starts to get hot, i loose power when i hit the gas, like if the pick up wasnt there anymore, and when i park the car it drips oil. I also seen it smoke once, but i think its because the oil leaks on the hot pipe. plz guys i need help

Well a location of the drip would be a good start off point...left side of the engine, right side of the engine, front of the engine....near the tranny ??

The power loss thing might be a pychological thing....

Just a guess based on my experience, your muffler could be bad.
