I've found traces of oil on the sumpguard under the engine/gearbox. I can see the gearbox output to the propshaft and rear drive; that appears OK, Can't see where the oil is coming from but I managed to run my fingers down what I think is the body of the cat' and there is definitely oil there. |

Best you get your Landy into the dealer asap! It's all warranty work, but if they've got a problem, best they know soonest.... |

Hi avtur, Haven't heard from you for a long time. Have you got your car back? Everything works fine now, or should we all be alert about oil leaks? |

Hi defkalion Yes, car is back with me, leak turned out to hydraulic fluid from the clutch system. Car was off road for one week because of that problem but have had it back for 10 days now and that problem seems to be cured. However I'm still seeing the traction warning message, I'm making notes of when it happens and dealer is researching it further (I hope!) |

I maybe paranoid but I am noticing a hot oil smell from my car, it is only a few days old with less than 200 miles on the clock so assume it is just new components getting hot for the first few times but reading this thread made me worry a bit. Where should I be looking to see if I have the fault mentioned at the start of the thread? |

The problem that Jumplead had concerned oil from the transferbox. If there is leak from here it will either drop to the ground on onto the rear of the large sumpguard. (it will probably also get spalshed around by the drive shaft too). If you crawl under you can get a good view of the output shaft from the transfer box to the rear of the car so any leak from there would be quite easy to spot. My hydraulic leak from the clutch also caused fluid to run onto the sumpguard and traces of that could be seen from the same position as looking at the transfer box. You can get under quite easily even parked on flat ground but if you run a wheel up a kerb you get an even bigger crawl space. If you do crawl under make sure handbrake is firmly on!! |
