Diagnose this leak (please)

So I've read everything I can find, and haven't had an ah hah moment yet. Mileage is around 247k. Please tell me this is just a gasket connecting the piping, and not something more complicated:







New baby is coming in two weeks, or any day now, so I'm hoping for cheap and easy fix. The oil isn't insanely dripping, but after sitting for 12 hours, there was a spot on the ground no bigger than the circular base of a soda can, so it's decent. From what I've read, this isn't anything to do with the HPOP issue, right?

Thoughts? Thanks in advance guys!

The oil cooler is my bet as well. The fix is relatively inexpensive if you can turn a wrench and juggle a little weight putting it back.

Here is the kit needed to rehab the oil cooler. Might want to paint the cooler and cut down on the rust once you get it out. http://www.dieselorings.com/1994-199...ate-94-03.html
