Freelander 1 still have leak after sump gasket change

hi,

I had an oil leak which looked as if it was coming from the sump joint, but have changed gasket silicone and still have the leak! any idea where this could be coming from??

Looks like from the bellhousing to me - input shaft seal? Crank seal? Clutch fluid? Check gearbox, engine and clutch master levels.

it's definitely engine oil as it's been dropping and I keep have to top up

Has the clutch been working OK?

I'm no expert, but looks like its coming from the "end" of the engine so suspect the main crank seal, but thought the clutch would be suffering if it is. Having said that, my son's T Series has a bad leak there and it doesn't affect the clutch. When he had the clutch replaced, the garage rang and said the seal was leaking badly but couldn't source a replacement. We got one from (IIRC) Rimmers which they fitted, but the leak is worse than ever. New clutch is working well though.

Crank oil seal.
