Hi, I'm viewing a 2007 puma that has a small oil leak noted as an advisory on the last MOT. The guy selling it tells me the garage that did the MOT who also do his servicing said its a minor leak and will be picked up at the next service. Made me a bit apprehensive. I've seen pictures of the engine bay. The engine was rebuilt 3 years ago and has done 50K. It looks clean but may have been steam cleaned off. The one photo I have of the underside showing it ( https://ibb.co/3FvJw7S ) seems to indicate the oil is coming down the right-hand side of the front diff when looking from the front. It does not look like a major leak but excess could have been wiped away. I've had a look on here and going to check the vacuum pump and timing belt cover, cylinder head and camshaft cover. Is there a particularly bad place that if it is coming from I should walk away?????

Hi and welcome.

Try posting your question in the defender forum, more relevant people will see it there.

You could get an independent inspection done rac/AA etc
