Oil leaks

kev87 · May 2, 2011

hi i have just fitted some new wheels today and noticed i have 3 oil leaks on my 4.6 v8 p38 range rover. One is the sump gasaket which is a nice easy fix, one is gear oil coming from the end of the front axel, what do i need to do to stop the leaking and how hard is it to do? and the 3rd is the automatic transmission fluid leaking from the front of the car by the radiator but i am unsure where it is coming from is there any common places for it to come leak?
Thanks

when you say end of front axle do you mean the pinion where the propshaft is if so you need a new pinion seal .
As for transmission oil there is an oil cooler left had side front but also some pipes that could leak.

i think it is the Front Driveshaft Oil Seal - FTC4822
is that by the front wheels

You didn't mention what age she was. If it's pre '99 it does not have a sump gasket. The ATF you have spotted is likely coming from your power steering resovoir or pipes.
