Gasket for near the clutch and engine due to oil leak

<< < (2/2)

Les Henson:
That rubber seal doesn't prevent oil from coming out - it's there to prevent dirt/water from getting in.
Andyb is correct - it could be the crank rear seal if it's engine oil coming out of the wading plug hole, sump seal (RTV), or maybe the crank rear main bearing T-seals leaking.
T-seal is major work, crank rear seal is also almost as bad major work, and the sump seal is very messy, but not too bad to do.

BigA:
Mine has always leaked there.... did on my 90 too.... i thought it was a standard Land Rover feature, as with all the other leaks i have  :?

Disco_Stu:
It could also be the input shaft oil seal - what kind of oil is coming out? You can loose engine oil or gearbox oil/ATF from the wading plug hole.

We need more info!!  :lol: :lol:

BigA:
I have just been under mine, and i cleaned it up at the weekend trying to trace a completely different leak, but did what i think is the same area to yours at the same time. Mine id definitely engine oil, and it looks to be originating from the back of the sump.

Could it be the sump gasket? If i remember correctly, thats what i replaced on my old 90 to fix this?

I could be miles out however
