I have an oil/coolant leak somewhere, and I'm not too sure. I thought it was the water pump, and I fixed that leak, it was seperate, then I thought the hose that goes to the Tstat was bad, replaced that, still have the leak. On the head, I can see some oil leaking from about the head gasket area. I did put a new head and gasket on back in October, and did not have these problems. Is it possible with heating and cooling, that I need to retighten the head bolts?
It's worth checking. I had the torque on my head stud nuts back off and got more than one oil leak

Thanks Pete, it's good to know it can happen and my theory isn't too far gone. It's starting to get warmer here in NJ, so maybe I'll get to it soon. For now, I just keep my eye on the levels and top off when I can.
