for a while now i have noticed a persistent and very very small coolant leak. until today i was unable to trace it. less than a pint in several months.

all hoses checked out fine
interior heater core and hoses fine again
radiator no problem

today doing routine stuff i noticed underneath the 2nd spark plug from the front a green colored, almost crystalline like beaded area on the head about and inch or 2 slightly to the rear and under this spark plug.

i took very good pictures (small 30kb jpg)but can't seem to upload them, getting error messages.

clearly this is a leak, not on the freeze plug but on the head.

any ideas?

i am happy to send the picture to anyone if it will help in the diagnosis.
