Jim, I had one here last week with the same drip. I eventually traced it back to the weep hole on the water pump. I ended up replacing the water pump, all the hoses and metal pipes to and from the water pump and oil cooler along with the O-ring between the cooler and block. If your going in this area do all that's not been touched for greater security over the long haul.

>>>>>I'm really happy with the way my 2.1 rebuild is running in my 90. But of course, there's one more thing wrong so I can't drive it. There is a drip coming from the bottom "corner" of the oil cooler. Hoses look dry (they're new) and I can't see anything leaking from them. I have another part to swap in. I can tell it's tight but possible. I have another nut to use for a jam nut to get the pipe out if that will help.

Anything I should know before I start this awful job?<<<<<<<<<
