What color is the oil or smell? I thought I had oil leak until I took a smell and it was diesel from high pressure injector on td6 tho |

Nah, definately engine oil. Looks like it's coming from the left hand side of the engine (looking from the front). I'll have to get the undertray off I suppose to see where it's coming from.

My SC dripped oil from the transfer box and was fixed under the LR extended warranty last year.

Transfer box is on the *back* of the gearbox......so no, it's not under the engine.

Well after further inspection, its not that bad. I have a gocar warranty, I might just wait until its next service and get it looked at then? Will an aftermarket warranty cover leaks?

I decided to go back to the dealer. They are going to sort it out for me. Too right! |

I don't regret buying the car.....an oil leak isn't the end of the world. Could be worse! |

Having been around Land Rovers all of my life, I've noticed that the only time they dont leak fluids is when they're dry!
