Hi Guys,
As we are all to aware, Landover's do like to leave an oily patch or two around and my wife would surely testify to the utter incontinence of my particular Disco 2 but, as of late my periodical splodge here and there has turned into a more constant drip...
After getting under the car this evening I have, potentially, identified the area in which the oil is coming from (I initially thought it would be the sump gasket/seal but, I found that it was trickling from above that area)
As you look at the gearbox sump from the front. The face proceeds up past the gasket/seal and above the main sump onto a machined block. This appears to be pressed up against another machined surface and it is here that I believe the oil is "weeping" out of???
I have attached a picture
of the inspection area and you should see quite clearly the oil seeping...
If anybody could give the benefit of their experience in this matter I would be greatly appreciative.
Cheers,
Mike
