280K miles and the beast still provides reliable transport with only routine scheduled maintenance throughout its life. However a slow leak has developed and it appears to be coming from the area directly below the radiator. That area looks like it has oil spray, but the leak is only producing a few drops a day on my garage floor. Any insight would be appreciated.
One of the automatic transmission cooler lines is located just below the radiator and the transmission cooler is located at the bottom of the AC condenser!
You did not say if the oil was ATF or engine oil. Knowing that could help greatly in diagnosing your problem!
If it is engine oil, your CAC (intercooler) could have a small leak and what you are seeing is draining of the CAC of accumulated oil that came from the CVC system that dumps into the turbo inlet.
FYI: Many on LOST along with others have installed a ProVent filter to keep the oil out of their CAC (charge air cooler)!
