Hi Guys
first post as a newbie Range Rover owner and i am asking for advice.
I have oil coming from under the front bumber, not much but enough to mark its territory. I have bought an Intercooler rad but i dont think it may be this whats the norm?
Regards

Engine oil cooler pipes leaking.

Engine oil?

automatic gearbox fluid?

power steering fluid?

which side of the car?

oil seems to be coming from the right side of the rad as you look at it
thanks

Almost guaranteed to be a leak from the transmission oil cooler if its an auto.

If its a manual then I'd say Datatek is on the money although many leak oil through the intercoole.

decided to get an intercooler rad and strip down to the Oil cooler to check the pipes in the morning.
will update you all if its a possitive on the solution.
and i have noticed the other oil cooler leaking also for the auto box

I dont know for sure if the intercooler and pipes are the same as the oil cooler i.e. steel on aluminium. If they are you might find this link interesting.
