Bingo!. That's exactly where my leak is. I think I'll try the muffler pucky approach to get through the summer and then when the beast is hybernating in the garage, will pull the side pipe and do a visual.
The car is used and did a pretty thorough walk thru before purchase. This one slipped by. Now going through it doing some detailing: found the rev limiter was the wrong one, fixed that, now the engine doesnt cut out at 5000 rpm; fuel level gage not working, will pull and trouble shoot, think I know the fix; found out today that the fuses on #6 fuse box are inverted! with the 10 amp serving the flasher/heater fan instead of a 15 amp (which explains why it kep blowing fuses). So, been a challenge but a fun one to get all the pieces functioning...
Anyway, thanks again to all the folks who took the time and trouble to respond.
