Default Help I'm new

Hey guys, I need some help.
I have a 1988 LR Classic. It's had some work done to it . But it's leaking oil, I think. I just had my timing chain changed and all my oils and fluids changed. After I am leaking some sort of oil, I believe its engine oil. It's from the front of the vehicle. It's a bit much for comfort but I check all my fluid religiously and they don't change? Any ideas???

take it for a drive and park it,put a piece of cardboard underneath and wait for the drips to appear....it will be easier to find that way....could also be transmission fluid ( ATF--red ) or the power steering,

Based on the work you recently had done it kind of gives clues. The oil pump is mounted to the front cover, check it's connections and that the filter is tight. There is an oil seal in the cover behind the crank shaft pulley. If the oil seal was nicked (or old and dry and not replaced) it will leak oil while the engine is running. The timing cover gets bolted to the block and the front of the oil pan gets bolted to the timing cover, check that area. The cover itself might not have sealed well to the block so check it for leaks.
