The shop foreman looked at it from underneath and the back of the engine. He showed me an area toward the back where it was leaking coolant and oil out onto the exhaust and the sheet metal back there. I've noticed a slow coolant leak that I haven't been able to nail down, but I go through it at a steady pace. There was also some black in the coolant recovery tank which he said was oil mixing in with the coolant.

Before I had my indy do it, I'd have him check it out for a second opinion. He's always been honest, so I would be comfortable with his opinion on this.
