Small leak of brown liquid - Dexcool?
#11
Dang. So what could've cause the oil level to drop that low in a week? I haven't noticed any oil leaking from the car.
The PO just got the oil changed. Could it be that Valvoline didn't put oil in the filter and it has been filled up now?
im taking it to get a good cleaning tomorrow. I have to get to the bottom of these leaks.

Never assume any oil change Place will do a perfect job, always double check yourself, also always check tightness of filter & drain plug when someone else is changing oil for you, so many times they will forget to tighten either or both,

Didnt you check oil level a week ago when had oil changed,? That's what you are supposed to do, specially if someone else is doing oil change, then you would have known if it's loosing a quart a week or simply wasn't filled to correct level,

I will check filter and drain plug today. I'm also going to the car wash and cleaning underneath so I can track the leak(s) better. There's so much dirt and oily "mud" underneath there's no way I could track a leak right now.

After 100K everything is leaking/weeping/dripping on a Disco2. Not to mention all of the parts that start going out. And the engine probably runs hot as radiator & heater matrix begin to plug, viscous fan loses its resistance, the head gaskets are letting coolant & exhaust gas go by. It's a living nightmare all I can do is wish you luck & advise you to keep tabs on the engine coolant temp with anything other than the dash cluster. Whenever that gauge shows the engine getting hot its way overheated by that point. Some others will make suggestions but I started off using my OBD reader to watch coolant temps & then installed a gauge that displays the coolant temp in real time numbers. You can just skim through the first couple pages under D2 subforum and find a half-dozen posts on oil & coolant leaks, where to start looking for them, & so on.
