Landrover Trouble...

[Tree Man Tom]

Right guys and girls, need your help

 

My landrover developed a knocking noise earlier today and is leaking oil badly from somewere. (to dark to see where, will look tomorrow)

 

Drove about 15miles down the motorway, everything was fine. As i came down the slip road my oil light came on, thought this was odd as id checked the oil level about 7 days before, so thought something must be wrong.

 

Proceded to my mates house which was about 1min away and as i pulled up the knocking noise became apparent and you could see oil coming out under the engine. The engine still starts fine, its just the noise and the oil, the oil light goes out if you give it some revs, and the knocking noise also gets louder when given revs.

 

He towed me home to be on the safe side, didnt want to cause anymore damage, any thought on what could be wrong?

 

My thoughts are:

 

Oil pump?

Something gone bang inside the engine? (but it still starts and why would oil be leaking out?)

 

Thats all i can think of now, will investigate further tomorow but be nice if any of you people have any thoughts on it?

 

P.S anyone got a 200tdi engine knocking about, just incase? lol

 

Cheers, Tom

low on oil for a start, if its low the light will go out with revs. find out where its leaking, dont use it untill you do

Checked the oil when i got to my mates, it was just above low. Il will top it up though before i attempt to start it again.
