Oil Leak

Swampey · May 23, 2010

Guys

Still got this oil leaking from somewhere and I can't for the life of me find out where its coming from.

Approx 4 - 6 weeks ago I noticed this very small patch of oil on the garage floor and I got under the truck and cleaned it all down.. no obvious signs of where it was leaking but the area is around gearbox area...

After the orginal clean up,no leaks what so ever until I noticed a patch over the past few days..

Now Im thinking is it worth just putting it into a garage and letting them find it ?
Ive had the disco since Feb and it was serviced before we picked it up, but somethings telling me that a full service wasnt done, so it maybe time to get her in for a major one

It's not leaking, it is marking it's territory

if it'll begin to mark its territory too hard then check te oil seals from diff/transfer box and the sump gasket.

are the sumps on 300 tdi's known to become porus?

mark its territory - call it what u want... but its still droppingoil but its like a slow dripping tap...... nothing to worry about, looks to me as its a busted seal

Its not a 300 tdi its a TD5

Sure it isn't diesel from a leaking fuel pressure regulator?

Or, while we are at it, how about power steering fluid dripping from the bottom of the power steering box?

Ace fluid from a corroded ACE pipe?

Aren't land rovers fun?

Check all the levels, anything dropping?
