2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

[sdtim]

Is the remaining leak with a valve cover or timing chain cover? They’re vastly different, yet both have been mentioned interchangeably in this thread.

If it’s timing cover, there are three (upper left, upper right, and lower), each with its own degree of difficulty to access.

Yes, the SCV6 is susceptible to timing chain issues.

Everyone has their own pain points they are willing to tolerate, but I'm sorry, the minute I find myself staring down $5, $7, or $10,000 repair bills, my LR4 becomes a "disposable razor" to me.

I wish I had seen this before you replaced the vacuum pump. It's literally a 15 minute job with a $100-200 part. I bought a vacuum pump from the company that makes them for LR and installed it myself after my indy shop wanted to do it for $1100.

Who is the OE supplier? RockAuto has Pierburg and Vaico as options. Thanks!

Did you even have to drain the oil ?

You lose about a 1/2 qt of oil.
