Oil leak on my Landrover 130

[GJT]

Got an engine oil leak from what I think is a crankcase oil seal. No pools of oil just a few drips at the end of the each day. Is it worth fixing or can I live with it and what is the likelihood of it getting worse? Any advice appreciated please.

Someone on here made me giggle a few weeks ago....... He said if you ain't got oil leaking underneath your Landy someone has nicked the engine and gearbox.

 

Sorry I can't help.

It will get worse! It might take a while, but it will deteriorate. I would leave it for a while as it might be best to yak the engine out or you might get away with removing the front panel and radiators. If you yak the motor, check the clutch and rear seal too.

Why take engine out just replace seal when cam belt is done.

Is it the front or rear seal?

Which engine is it?

 

It can only get worse over time.

When it comes to oil leaks on any engine you need to know exactly where it's coming from and not just assume or guess. Wash the engine down and the start to monitor where it's coming from and take it from there.

Its a Puma Tdci. I think its the rear seal photo attached.

It's come from clutch cover drain hole then not crank case are you sure engine oil and not gear box oil.

It could be rear crankshaft seel, the will be gearbox and flywheel removal at least,possibly engine removal,talk to a landy independent service place.
