The hose attaches to the RH side of the lowest section. It has a clip that must be pressed. The drain plug is towards the back of the sump. It drains a small reservoir for the drain pipe of the primary turbo, which if not drained will over time cause sludge to accumulate.

Well for the RR that has to be the easiest fix, the 2nd oil sump drain was loose....... Cheers

Checked my rear o rings the other day

Thanks to all for the great advice on this As a result did my seals and o-rings at the weekend. Done a full pictorial guide but rather than add to the 20 pages on this thread have set it up on my owners thread, you can find it https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post501572.html#501572

Hi all, I'm new to the community, just read this post front to back this evening and got completely engrossed in it. I have this problem going on at the moment, leaking down the back of the engine, burning oil smell, smoke arising now and again(usually when I've given it some beans)! i now will be doing the repair myself, basically because of the brilliant info that I've read on this forum tonight. its probably old news for you guys but new for me, so wish me luck and thanks for the guidance.

Welcome to the forum.

I’m lucky to have benefitted several times from those who know way more than me  What do I put here then?

Thank you sir, I'm a panel tech by trade so looking forward to sharing some of my knowledge in the future when required.

My 2011 is having the gaskets done today. Exact same symptoms as you....O rings will be checked at same time  2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
New Defender D300 90 on order so "Rory" will be going to a new home....!
1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie"

Hi, hope all goes well and the leak identified and corrected. i shall have to wait for a free day, i have started to order parts, hope i can get a cooler on sale or return, be good to have everything on hand should i need it.

@hermano - the cooler having failed is normally shown by oil in the water of the cooling system rather than a leak which is usually gaskets. So I wouldn't be too worried about ordering up a cooler unless you have symptoms that lead you to believe it has failed

Hi , do you know if this oil leak problem is the same on a 3.6 V8 as my oil leak appears to be coming from the area you are explaining.
Thanks

No its not Tractor Man BUT, the oil filter housing is there and the rubber ring/seal should be changed EVERY service as the heat makes them go hard and flat...
Thats where i would check first sir

Thanks Craig I will check that tomorrow 👍
