got advice on using heavier oil (15W40 vs my 5W30), and I'm also wondering if it could be the gasket between the exchanger and the block? Apparently its rear block under intake manifold... there is oil all over the bottom of the starter back there and that's where its running from. Difficult/tight to inspect. If so I'd MUCH rather deal with valve cover or heat exchanger gasket.
Again, there is only oil coming from the Drivers side under intake and very back, where its very tight/difficult to inspect. Even wondering if I need a bore scope (ummmm Roy did tell me to get one a loooong time ago).
