[DeTomaso] wierd leak

[michael frazier]

Wouldn't oil in the cooling system at rest rise and not leak out the bottom.  Anti-freeze can also  nearly evaporate and
look thick and oily if you get enough to drip.  Anyway, you need to figure that one out pretty quick.  Water in the oil or 
vice versa is never a good thing.
