Believe it or not, I tightend the nut and so far so good.  Seems to have stopped the leak.  Amazing how that works.

As for the other big bolt that looked like it was out in the picture, it was actually in all the way.  I think the lighting in the pic made it look that way.

Thanks again for all the advice.

Yes I found the little seal:

You should just be able to unscrew the fitting around the pipe going into the block, but you'll have to disconnect/undo the fitting at the other end to be able to pull it (the whole pipe) out of the block. I can't remember for sure, but it might be easier to unbolt the oil filter housing from the block so you don't have to fight flexing or bending the pipe.

There is also a steel braided replacement oil line available:

Thanks for the tip.  If that internal little O-ring needs replacing, is as simple as unscrewing the nut and replacing?  I have a Haynes so I can refer to that if it's more involved.

As far as that big bolt, I didn't even notice that!  Yikes.  I'll screw that sucker in.

Looks to me like you have a late 80s / early 90s block which uses the later style oil line (from the filter) rather than the big banjo bolt. Those have an internal little 0-ring, looks more like a tiny length of about 1/4 inch rubber hose that seals it. Tightening might help, or it might make it worse, but no harm in trying!

The coolant is likely not related to the oil leak, particularly if you just added some.

From the photo it does look a bit like you have the bolt backed way out which it seems is letting us see the thread and shaft of the bolt inside the lower yellow oval.... If so, run that bolt back in and tighten it up!....

Ok.  So you're saying I have loose nuts?  Hey now...settle down....apparently you don't know me that well...

Anyways that makes sense.  I thought about tightening it but I wasn't sure what it was and the oil was not coming out the side but rather the center by the tube.  But I'll try to tighten it first and see where that goes.

As for the coolent.  I have no idea where that came from.  It wasn't there the first time I noticed the leak.  All I did was fill up the coolent tank because it was low and then it showed up.

Thanks,

Dan

If this doesn't stop the leak, it may be that the pipe's olive is damaged inside the nut.

#1 is the oil transfer pipe between the oil filter and the block. Tighten the nut.

The area enclosed by the bottom yellow oval should be solid metal.  Just to the right hand side of the (#2) oval you can see the engine block to  transfer case interface (gasket).  I can't really see but its possible that the gasket has failed in the vicinity of one of the case to block mounting bolts and oil is leaking out along the bolt??? 

Alternatively, just to the right of the yellow marker is the oil pressure relief valve - and below that is the oil pressure gauge sensor port - both common sources of leaks..... but none of these would explain coolant leaks.  But just above there is the heater tap....

The only "easy" suggestion I can offer (although replacing the pressure valve and sensor seals is a two minute job) that *might* produce soem relief is an extra crankcase breather.

I know they're supposed to leak oil and I've always had a little drip, but I've recently developed a new leak that when the car is running, I can see it leaking out.  And to that point, it only leaks when the car is on.  And to top it off, I noticed some coolant in the same oil puddle after my last run.  See pics below for location of the leak. 

I was hoping to get the general opinion about this leak and how I can go about fixing it.  And if I should be concerned about that coolent in the puddle.

Here's the outside shot of the leak so you can get your bearings.  It's on the left side underneath the coil where the yellow circle is.

Here's a closeup shot.  The oil is coming out by this metal tube labeled 1.  It's then dripping down and collecting in spot 2.  Spot 2 is also where I saw some coolent sitting as well.

Thanks all for looking.  Any thoughts on this that you have are much appreciated.
