small oil leak

[DiscoCoveII]

hello friends,

i have been seeing small puddles of oil gather around my disco when i go somewhere and come back to my car, the other day i got underneath and changed my oil and, it looks like to me the leak is coming from somewhere in between my radiator and front of my engine there are a few hoses there but i just cant tell exactly where its coming from,

i noticed it dripping off my front axel and oil pan, bolts. has anyone else had troubles with a leak from that location, if not does anyone have any good methods as to how i can pin point this annoyance,


preciate ya!.

One thing I have found out about LR's, if they are not leaking it means that they are out of oil. I would check the oil cooler lines and your front main seal. Both are not hard fixes or expensive. Don't bother buying a new pan gasket, just use RTV. I got that recommendation from a dealer. Good luck.

The oil pump housing in where you stated the leak is comming from.
between front of engine and radiator.

Clean the engine of all oil..Then look for your leak. I have found that leaks can appear to come from many places as gravity works its magic and lets the oil drip down the entire motor, I had a problem with my rocker cover gaskets all I needed to was tighten down the cylinder heads.
Welcome to the first of MANY small oil leaks… 

Frankly, I would not trust a Disco that does not leak oil at a decent, respectable and relatively conservative rate; it's all part of the patented LR undercarriage rust-proofing program! But if you really must insist on ruining part of the LR mystique - check your oil-cooler lines.

Rovers Don't Leak THEY MARK THERE TERRITORY! If it's not marking it's territory then it ain't a Rover!

Well said! And mine has staked-out quite a bit of territory to date!
