First of many leaks I would pressume . . . . . Land Rovers don't leak oil . . . . they just 'mark their terittory' . . . . :lol:

Has the wife complained?

No) leave well alone, it's not bust, don't fix it

Yes) tell her it's not a mechanical problem but will be expensive to put right, drop some sand on the concrete to soak it up or pant the drive black :wink:

It'll be PAS fluid rather than oil.  Bottom seal prob needs replacing.
