Thanks Peter.
Got the pan off and no rust on crank or rods, I would rather be lucky than good.
Filled cooling system with water and pressurized system to 25 psi. Raised the car up, got a comfortable chair, blue paper towels, a strong lite, and waited. Waited some more and not a drop was leaking, but in the bottom of the oil pan was the tell tale greenish brown milkshake of water and oil.

It always puts me in my place when a piece of metal is smarter than I am. Now to remove engine and check the top end for leaks. I just knew that when I went to drain the odd bank of cylinders water jacket and nothing came out I had found the problem. Not so
