Our '98 Aurora has what seems to be a very small leak in an area I can't describe due to lack of knowledge. I have taken several photos and put together three views. The background is of the engine, the small insert photo is a close view of the leak area and the third pix is a ECU of the leak. I assume its coolant. I had an AC/radiator shop look at it and he advised if it's not leaking badly - leave it alone. He repaired this kind of leak several months ago and the parts cost around $20 but the labor was $750 due to the complexity of job. I'd appreciate any advise and/or suggestions for this issue. I hope the photo is clear enough to make sense of the problem.
Thanks in advance.

for $750 you could buy a crate engine (rebuilt motor)

Yeah that looks like the water pump crossover pipe gaskets that went bad, i replaced them on mine about 3 months ago and the parts were about $35 from the dealer for the new gaskets but the labor was major, i did it my self and took about a day and a half there are some bolts that are hard to get to its just a major pain to do. the 4 gaskets i circled in the picture are the ones that are probably bad, over time they crack and disintegrate only about half of mine were left and all i would have in the morning on the ground is a half dollar size puddle  Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
