Just had a look under my Discovery 1, 2.5 TDI to see if i could find where the oil was leaking out.
On the front of the gear box at the bottom it looks like a drain plug is missing.Should there be a plug fitted.

That's the hole for a wading plug. The idea is that the hole is left open to allow any loose oil to escape, rather than contaminate the clutch plate.

If you do any wading through water, you should put a wading plug in the hole to stop any water getting in.

There is a similar hole in the timing case at the front of the engine block.
