Oil bathed engine
muddyjames:
No i do move the selector at all. I just start the BGG (big green giant) up when cold and look at the dip stick in P
extreme90:
check the front diff pinion seal mine went a few weeks back, the prop picks the oil up and sprays it from in a line everywhere, it will be all on the chassis legs, on the track rod + damper if im right as the damped is fitted to the track rod on disco's unlike defenders :wink:
u'll know if it the pinion seal as there will be a puddle of oil under it
Xtremeteam:
yep what RRB said,start it up in neatral & run through all the gears pausing for a second,do this twice then back to neutral,then check the oil level,i think i know where its leaking from as on the 300 autos its common for the pipe that goes from the auto box to the cooler at the front to rust through at the connection at the oil cooler behind the grill
muddyjames:
I shall check the auto level later and also I would check the pinion seal but I have no idea where it is or the diff seal :(
I am a very novice person when it comes to cars im affraid. I can do mega basic stuff and that is as far as I have got in training myself :)
extreme90:
just look where the front propshaft goes to the diff......the flange that it bolts to is the pinion, you will see oil seeping inbertween the diff casing and the mud shield on the flange
u should be able to tell what oil it is any way if it is auto box oil.....it wil b very thin if u rub a bit between ur fingers
if it is diff oil........1 it will stink !! and 2 it is very thick
