It is a small leak, haven't lost much coolant. My oil temp has been running normal so far. have noticed a small amount of steam also from top side of motor. Guess I will crawl under her this evening and check it out.

Ditto on the oil cooler orings. When you do the repair, go ahead and replace the gaskets on the cooler heads where they mount to the engine block. It's a really messy job, and not worth doing a second time if you can get it all done in one effort. Most folks also couple this job with an oil change, and some also go ahead with the coolant flush (or conversion to ELC) as well. Like I said... better one mess than multiple messes.
Below is a link to the best source for the replacement orings and gaskets (if you can afford to wait the several days shipping time).
