Hello,
about to start long list of jobs on my disco 2 and I've noticed a lot of oil deposit (spray?) around the air filter box (see pic) it does use a fair bit of oil, I thought discos like drinking oil. Any ideas or suggestions? Not had the vehicle long and it has no service history, so having to slowly go step by step through the haynes and here to get her fit and healthy..thanks in advance.

That's the side of the radiator/inter cooler. Do you have ace? It could be the lower hose union on the base of the pump. Or it could be from your turbo hoses.
 
Yes it is, I do have ACE, there is a lot oil below the turbo unit as well. The bonnet is coming off this weekend to do head gasket (please don't rain) guess I need to see if I can spot anything leaking while engine running. Was a long shot if anyone had had similar scenario. Thanks for your help, slowly familiarising myself with this engine, bit diffrent to my older 300tdi few more things on it.
Cheers
