Merry Christmas Michael.....
makes me think of a coolant seep at the 'outer water gasket' on your left
head.
A bother to get the push rod tin off under there......to get a good look.
if it was just a little a small water gasket leak there, in the short term
I'd give it a BarsLeak treatment.

and you're  sure it's not the coolant hoses to the oil cooler   ?

An engineer ones said, famously, 'It is the nature of fluids to leak.'
