Help figure what I知 missing on engine and oil leak

Howdy, new Ford Ranger owner picked up a 2000 Ranger 3.0 motor for 1k, has supposedly 120k miles and seems to be missing some stuff; The DPFE sensor is broken so I知 getting that, but on the pic where I circled, what goes to them?

first pic is hose connected to itself




next is a bunch of hoses red hose in that bigger one



this one has 2 lines going towards cabin and on bleat bottom is a hose I don稚 see where it goes to



and here is where the starter is, there is a good amount of oil dripping, don稚 know if it痴 rear main seal or oil pan or oil sending unit.

Hello..
Pic #1.. looks to be a disconnected heated PVC possibly.
Pic #2... looks like it goes to the main vacuum tree to supply vacuum to something like EGR solenoid or fuel pressure regulator.
Pic #3.. They have disconnected the heater core.. so no heat obviously,..Probably leaking, and the gray vacuum line would go to the missing coolant diverter valve... which I consider optional. lol
Pic #4.. There is an oil leak... could be oil pan gasket, most likely, rear main seal I think you would smell it burning from hitting exhaust crossover. Loose oil filter is another possibility.

Living in Texas explains why a lot of the coolant things have been disconnected..lol... Don't imagine it getting too cold to the south. The vacuum lines need to be routed properly and the heater related one needs to be capped so it doesn't leak. You may still have a diagram somewhere on the core support that shows routing.
Hope this helps in your endeavors.

After looking at the pics again.. pic #1 is also shown more clearly in pic #2.. which appears to be a coolant heated intake. Probably don't need that down south either. This diagram may help.
