Hello
Thanks guys, just checked, and I think your right about the power steering fuild Datalas, makes sense.
Think I slightly over filled it about 3 weeks ago, and have done a couple of longish trips on motorway. Also the fuild level isn't 'that' low now considering the amount of leaked powersteering fuild i found, so reckon that could well be a combination of over filling and pressure build up (heres hoping anyway!)
Will check the 3 nuts on top of the steering box etc (where it seems to be leaking)
As for the oil, well she's always leaked (had her 18 months now) she's a landrover and thats how they moisturize them selves
The garage owner when he serviced her last Nov took it on himself to 'beat the landrover oil challenge !'
He did very well to give him his dues but she seems to be 'marking territory' again.
after a quick check (she got so much muck &oil etc everywhere it is hard to tell TBH, but going by the haynes manual I reckon I need a new gasket, as where the sump bolts onto the engine thats were it's worse all along the bolted join
(hope that sounds about right, pictures are very dogdy in manual) the oil seems diffinatly worse there, and it's traveling well down the chasis under the passenger side.
Also some of the fabric hoses seem so sodden in the stuff they seem to be weeping from there
Hope this all makes sense, found it really hard to explan as Im not good at this writting lark!
Thanks again
