oil leak near the thermostat

has anyone here seen or experienced an oil leak at or near the thermostat on the 1999 Eurovan?

i have just returned from a 3000 mile trip and near the end of the journey i was experiencing an oil spot under the car just below the junction of the thermostat to the tranny.

any help is appreciated.

Follow up note: the dealer diagnosed the problem as a blown head gasket. apparently the gasket failed in an area where only the oil flowed as there was never an overheated condition and there was never a mixing of oil and water.

i am leaning towards having the work completed by the dealer. Any comments out there?
