massive oil leak
ben_haynes:
have you got a V8, Tdi or MPi? Manual or Auto?
i would guess your Rocker cover gasket is leaking, or it is leaking from the Headgasket

I had the same thought, the engine on my newly bought 300 is very wet, right to the top of the engine, so the rocker gasket is defo leaking, but if you looked at the oil sat on the top of the diff you'dd think it was serious!!
I plan to clean the engine off, then change the cover gasket then check for other leaks...!!

have you had the oil and filter changed on your truck disco-ron?
because the oil filter is above the diff and the oil always sits in the top of there,

I've only had it a week Ben, i'm gonna go right through it before i start using it, it's only done 82k from new, full history, but no mention of gearbox oils etc being done, i will be doing all the servicing right through befor ei use it.....
