Just posting for any future searching. Using an inspection camera (for those with AWD) is very, very helpful... It was the oil return.

Neil, I will once I get back under there, but as said, it is covered and immobile (rad is out).

Thanks. I will take a look there and see how it looks.

I cannot figure out where it is coming from. Cleaned, then driven and everything is covered.

What is the typical oil leak(s) from there?

I want to fix this while it is up in the air (changing the radiator currently).

TIA!!!

The leak was at the sending unit. A previous horrible back yard fix was leaking and was corrected with a very nice shop repair.

was the right side elbow coming out of the sending unit at the front of the tank.

someone "repaired" it before. Quite half assed. I half assed it much much better.
