Ben, Ben, Ben. Why do you punish yourself with these rusty, rusty, Vanagons?

Kidding.  :)  You're quite dedicated I know.

Ok, from a WBX ignorant POV, it seems the oil cooler may be involved
or at least a passageway to/from it.

Could coolant leak internally at oil cooler into oil passage? If so,
is it possible there's a crack some where on block that allowed this
coolant to seep out at crank end?

Or maybe it's just remanents from a leaky coolant pipe above or coolant pump?

Neil.
