Hi all just done service oil filler etc amd noticed leaking sump gasket anyone know after market or other part number or a site to get one please

Part numbers depend on the specific engine, but if you have a look at one of the many online retailers, paddocks, craddocks, island etc or your local independent you should find what you need.

Worth checking oil isn't coming from higher up, if you havent already. Many sump gaskets and sump plugs have been blamed as that is where gravity takes the oil!!

Had new plug as washer today it looks like someone has used sealant on it before and not a very good job

A landrover part number would be very helpful if anyone has it please

There's oil all over my crystal ball now! Can't make out if it's petrol or diesel

Im sorry mistic meg thought I'd said earlier 2009 2.2 td4 auto

Ah, you're trying to trick me now! Those don't have gaskets, it's why they leak. Also known to rust thru, so worth checking carefully.
Use gasket compound, it stays elastic when cured

Really, no gasket so just drop clean seal ut back

You needs some room temperature vulcanising cream for engines....

Or RTV for short.

No gasket on these engines, and the sealer never leaks. It's a very specific type of sealer, which isn't easy to get or safe to use.
Look elsewhere before going down the sump seal route.

Like the drain plug or a rusted/porous sump.. or even a leak higher up

I know you're on the other side of the planet, but its probably just picked up some oil that my L Series has dispersed into the atmosphere.
