Hi Larry
Have you had a look at the slot in the side of the block by the water pump,
both oil and antifreeze can leak from here as it is a tell tale for just
this problem, just like the slot in a conventional water pump will show you
if the pump is leaking water, this slot will show if the pump is leaking
water and / or the seal to the jackshaft gallery on the drive shaft is
leaking oil. Other than that it will probably be the head gasket.
Graham.
