Update: It was the gasket for the cooling pipe that comes out of the head just above the water pump. It is tricky to replace, but doable. Not sure why it went bad. Was put on new last year when we replaced the old warped head with a refurbished one from Florida. Maybe we didn't have the bolts tightened enough. They are hard to get to.
