Oil leak with pictures, any ideas ?

Hi spotted an oil leak today, its been fine so far, so i think its fairly new, only done 3000 miles since
i picked the car up. Sad


http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/albums/use...ge1~0.jpeg

Not sure if its the gearbox or transfer box. ?

how safe is it to drive , don't want it to run out of oil. and break even further. ill get it booked in.

Thanks
Mark

Not wanting to be cheeky, but are you sure its oil and not the A/C condensation - it does drip down from a similar spot?

Thats actually a weep, when it leaves a puddle of oil on the floor then you can call it a leak Mr. Green

Underbody Oil Leak - What component is this?

Hi all, I've recently had the transfer box oil seals done and also a new suspension air pump. However, I noticed some oil on the drive today and don't know where it's coming from. It doesn't appear to be drive train related. What's this box that the pipe with the jubilee clips is going into?

I put a photo in the gallery. I took it from the rear on the rhs driver's side. The exhaust is on the left. I don't know what the pipe is that's covered in oil and what it goes into? Any help gratefully received.

Looks like the pipe from filler neck to fuel tank. Does it smell like diesel ?

Hi DN, thanks for reply. No, it’s a colourless and odourless light oil. I did brim it when i filled up yesterday although diesel usually stinks and lingers.

Is the rusty box with the cross on it the fuel tank then?

Is your brake fluid level good, if you’ve lost some, maybe it’s a corroded rear brake pipe ( common on older vehicles). The metal thing is a protection shield for the plastic fuel tank above.

If it is that, I wouldn’t recommend driving it until it’s fixed . The pipes quite often corrode above the rear diff area, and leak onto, typically, the exhaust, and the ground, but yours does look a bit more widespread. Thumbs Up
