Went out today to verify that the van's left head had a blown coolant seal.
It appears from closer investigation that there is a leak above the left
head, from a hose (or the pipe it connects to) just above it (oil cooler
hose???).  I guess tomorrow I'll move the A/C compressor out of the way and
check into it more thoroughly, since it is directly below the compressor and
very difficult to see.

Any tips/tricks/prayers anyone can offer?  There is no coolant in the oil,
and it appears that there is no oil in the coolant, so I may have just
lucked out.  Could a leak in the hose going to the oil cooler have caused
the water temperature to be reading high lately?  It doesn't peak the gauge,
but it has been running about 2-3 needle widths higher than in the past, and
it had been using/loosing some coolant (I had thought that I hadn't bled the
system correctly after changing the expansion tank - guess that wasn't it!).
