Wow, I just started to think how a great vehicle is my P38 and noticed I am losing oil. Since the engine has been rebuilt last year, and no visible signs of burning, I left the car on the same place for 6 days and saw this:

It is coming from the back of the engine, and my friend (an experienced LR Indy) told me that it is the back crankcase seal, cheap parts & expensive labor. He also advised me not to worry about it, because even if they stop the leak, it will began in a year. I think that he does not want to deal with it since it is a dirty job and the leak seems serious to me.. What to do you suggest, is there an easy way to change the main seal, or the engine has to come out?
 
4.6 V8 Thor, with Prins LPG system. Leak was not this bad, I guess something was not done proper while rebuilding. I will try to find another shop which will accept the transmission removal way :)
 
Call that an oil leak. Come on get real. Positive side is, if you keep having to top it up, it'll not need changing as often. :D:D
