Those nice chaps at Land Rover decided that the 300tdi didn't need a sump gasket, that's why they leak. Take the sump off and refit using some good quality (hylomar or whatever) instant gasket and the leak will go away, for a while anyway.

I've recently discovery my sump has a slight leak too, only this is due to rot and becoming porous!

Hoping to get it off next weekend and get it welded up before the next laning trip.
