Got to be the rear main oil seal I would think. Not good news I'm afraid - big job. |

On the basis that its engine oil and not autobox oil the the difficulty and 'big job' depends upon who does it and by what method.

Just thinking.....somewhere at the back of the engine is the oil pipe that feeds the turbo centre bearing, might be a simple oil leak from the banjo joint.

If it is the rear seal, they may not follow the official LR book method but I bet they'll charge the official LR time for doing it that way! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

This has not been a good week. Start of the week Defender needs new DMF, fox kills three turkeys, two chickens and dog eats one of my new shoes. I am going to stay in bed next week. After shooting fox, dog, and selling Defender. |

Just had the job done by RCV Kent and for what they did a very reasonable bill. I was expecting a hell of a lot more. They fitted a seal that turned out to be faulty so they had to do it all again.
