Coolant leak at Heat Exchanger

[fortyman]

Just figured out how to post picture. The liquid comes out the area where it looks like a slit in the heat exchanger unit that goes into the crossover pipe. I can't recall if the crossover pipe was in this same location or if the pipe could have slipped down some. It doesn't seem to be loose. The car is a 1940 ford v8 flathead. I have been restoring it for a few years and just got it running about a month ago.

That cross over pipe is homemade obviously. I doubt it slipped down.

Are you losing coolant? That doesn't appear to be a coolant leak but rather, condensation.
