Hi ..Help 
Got a D4 3lt that is leaking oil, drips off the starter motor at the bellhousing end.
Slight leak, but enough to run back along guard (sheild) and spray out on to cross member 
Any one been down this path already,  cars done 30000km.
Dealer tried oil filter seal, still leaking. 
Cheers Ken

I had exactly the same issue turned out to be an incorrect fitting pipe on one of the turbos. The dealer fixed it while I waited and to date has dropped no more oil.

Well no such luck,
dealer thinks leak is from main crank seal, not good,
wonder why it would start to leak after 30,000km ,could only think bearing stuffed

real technology here...when the oil level drops to a point that it triggesr an alarm on the dash
to make you aware you have low oil level...at least its before the oil pressure light comes on ! ....have Disco3 HSE TD6 Auto...winter mobile
....also Jag XK......the economy 5.0 litre one...I'm REALLY smitten with this
....& have a Freelander 2 SE Auto...realistic runabout....

Well not from rear seal, but from a "bolt that goes thru ladder and into block", and then oil running on top off sump lip and dripping off starter motor.
Still not fixed because dealer has to check with LR Aust who has to check with LR UK, check what I don't know. what a fiasco
