Oil leak on my Landrover 130

Recommended Posts

Mines been leaking very slightly there for about 3 years.

 

It could be the rear crank seal, the front gearbox seal, or the clutch slave cylinder, depending on what fluid is actually coming out. Mine seems to be sump oil, so rear crank seal.

 

I meant to replace it last time I put a new clutch in last year but in the end didn't have time. Since on a Puma the clutch only lasts about 50k miles (or about 2 years with the mileage I do) before the damper springs are shot, I'll do it next year on the next clutch change.

 

So if I were you I'd live with it until the next time the box comes out for a clutch change and to check/lube/replace the infamous output adaptor shaft splined joint.

Why not take it to a reputable garage and get them to have a look rather than a poor photograph on an Internet forum full of "experts" 😏

That's a tad harsh it's not easy you know getting under a landrover that's leaking oil and taking a shot from that angle with my disabilities. Now if you'd questioned my abilities with and my limited experience of landrovers then fair enough.

Already done the garage thing but wanted to know other 'experts' experience.

Can't see anyone trying to be an expert mate, I think the op was just trying to tap into any pointers on this,which is fair enough.

I agree in so much as the work will most likely have to be done by a landy specialist, but nowt wrong with picking fellow arbs brains for any first hand knowledge of what he is looking at,we all do it with all manner of our work machinery.:001_smile:

It wasn't meant in a nasty way, I don't know you have disability. My point was that from a photograph it's hard to make a correct diagnosis. I own a defender and had a nasty oil leak, I took it to the garage I use and it was sorted in no time. It can leak from various places on the engine/gearbox. Better to get it right than messing about.

No honestly its fine I know what you mean't and no major disabilities just really dodgy knees, poor eye sight and hair loss :001_smile:.

The Landrover although second hand is new to our set up and I have no experience of them, the dealer I bought it from is telling me its normal for landrovers to have this kind of leak and my nearest main dealer is two hours drive away, the local commercial garage where we usually go is a bit vague about fixing it or leaving it. So I just wanted to see what you guys thought before I make up my mind what to do next.

Ok mine started dripping on my works 110, dripping from the same place as yours, drove it for two days about 300 miles while waiting for dealer to book in by the time it got to them it was leaving a pool of oil the size of a saucer within 2mins of being stationary. Get it sorted.
