04 Disco II...Help me target the Oil Leak!
Here are a few pics of the oil leak... 110K miles. Just had the Valve Cover gaskets replaced less than 500 miles ago by a local mechanic. Pressure washed the entire belly pan, seemed to stop it for a day, and it is back again.
Seems to sweat oil on several of the oil pan mounting bolts. Also, a drip always seems to come off the bottom of the front differential. When oil is hot and it drips - it travels.....
I am thinking oil pan OR front crank seal...any suggestions???

From what I am told and learning these things are oil leakers plain and simple..mine with new motor, new gaskets is weeping oil from the oil pan with less than 350miles, pitiful. I am told the oil pan gasket design sux *****. I will be changing my gasket at the next oil change. Anyone have a tip to fix this once and for all?

I'm not too sure about this. The oil pan gasket is hard plastic with metal bushings in the bolt holes. I've taken my oil pan off three times in the last month for other reasons and continue to reuse the same gasket and it doesn't leak. You could be leaking front main seal, rear main seal, a whole number of places. Take the above advice, clean, inspect, and post pictures. You may want to make sure the valve covers and oil pan are nice and tight as well.
