It was leaking from under into the ground. The mechanic said he changed the tube.that connects the coolant Tank.

I have a leak at the oil cooler, leaks about a pint when the temperature changes, (above 35 degrees f) to below that. I tend to call it a burp. because the system is sealed, it only drops about a pint. I did change the orings a couple years ago, and it started leaking reliably on temp changes. One shop wanted 700 to replace the cooler. that was two oil changes ago (over 1400 miles ago)

I found oil in the coolant Tank
