Morning all,
Defenders been in the garage for the past few weeks as I carried out a series of upgrades and repairs. Popped out yesterday and noticed fairly big spread of oil coming from what looked like the rear of the engine, dripping down onto the air intake pipe.
Cleaned quite a lot of it off and went for an hour or so drive came back parked up and left over night, negligible oil on the floor but just wonering if it is anything to be concerned about.

Starter motor was pretty oily as well.
Fuel pressure regulator is not leaking. Recently replaced with genuine parts and theres nothing leaking around it
PAS box is leaking but tiny amounts
Front diff was leaking but that was due to a blocked breather pipe
Engine oil level is normal, PAS oil is normal, Coolant is normal, not checked clutch fluid as its a pain in the ass to get my giant hands on it.
Brake fluid normal
