Subject:Small Oil Leak 91GL

Can anyone take a sec and advise, please? Started getting a small oil leak
right on my rear engine support after an oil change at a Firestone. Had a
free change coupon.  Had them check it and all tight. Didn't believe them so
removed the filter, cooler nut and checked the seal and reinstalled. No leak
after 10 minutes running. Hit the road and 20 miles later, checked and leak
is back. Looks like it is coming from behind and maybe above the oil cooler.
Can see a rivulet along the square unit that bolts to the rear engine mount.
Any ideas? Oil pump seal? Right at the rear of the van near the cooler. Only
about 1 tsp a day, but overspray on hatch.
Joneing to try the new RA08 and fishing tomorrow(hopefully). Thanks in
advance, Michael.
