Abstract
We compute the Onsager Machlup functional for a stochastic evolution equation with additive noise, using $L^2$-type techniques. The regularity that has to be imposed to the drift coefficient is a trace type condition on its derivative. In the linear case, this condition does not depend on the sto- chastic convolution related to our evolution system.
