My guess is coolant in cylinder(s) after it warms up, but hopefully I'm wrong !

If you think there's coolant in a cyl. and know which is the suspected one, pull the GP out of those 2 cyl's. coolant should pop out if there's any on a start up. Takes a little work, but. When the damper pulley mark is at 0 #1-4 is at TDC, and each 1/4 turn from there will be 2-5 --7-6---3-8 @ TDC. You could let set half hour on a hot engine between each GP removal. Just a troubleshooting method.

With the oil only having small amounts of water in it, it only seaps when hot,
I think I've pretty well figured out what's wrong.
Heads need to come off. And soon before it destroys the short block.
I will I spect further after the heads come off.
Most likely I will pull the engine and do the work.
I was never very happy with the looks of the
Engine compartment anyways.
I'd like to delete those pos plastic inner fender wells and make some aluminum ones.
Paint the engine compartment
And make it look nice this time.
