65 289 c4 runs great, no over heating. Have oil coming from front area of motor somewhere near the fan or pulley areas. Fan blows oil all over the engine compartment. Liquid is not reddish with no odor so I don't think that it is trans fluid. Seems to only leak when engine running, can not see where it's coming from. This has me a little stumped and any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Fluid only coming out under load. Had messed around hood trying to install a fan shroud and think I damaged lower radiator where the tranny fluid passes thru. Installed new rad and coolant with water wetter additive. No leakage detected after test drive. Never had this problem before, probably uncommon. Fingers crossed, hoping this was the issue. Thanks for your input my friend. Ride Sallly Ride.

Found problem, I think I damaged lower radiator where trans fluid passes, would leak out under load.
Replaced radiator and coolant with water wetter. Good so far. Thanks for input guys.
