I changed my oil and filter yesterday and I noticed that I am starting to get some oil leakage somewhere around the lower crank pulley, I would assume the seal. I'm not talking anything really major here but enough that the front lower area of the oil pan was streaked with some oil. I added some White Shepperd with the oil. After the oil change I degreased the whole area and will watch for more leakage.

What frustrates me is that I had the engine rebuilt with a new LR factory short block about 25,000 miles ago. On past engines I've rebuilt myself, those seals would be from the factory and not installed later when the engine was reassembled so I would assume that a Disco engine is the same. Do they just build these cars with mediocre seals? My wife's Toyota has 230,000 miles on it and doesn't leak a drop!

Good luck sealing a rotational seal with a liquid sealant. This is an easy seal to replace, frusterating I know at 25k but it can happen to any vehicle. Remove the fan shroud, fan, serp belt then the pulley. Pop the seal out, pop the new one in. Have a beer and be done with it.

If it makes you feel any better my rear main went yesterday in blaze of oily glory, on the freeway. Given my aging back, and lack of time it's now sitting down at my favorite rover shop.

 

Land rovers don't leak. That's the rover version of bread crumbs, so you can find your way back.

 

I feel your pain about leakage. I installed a spill plate under the oil pan to catch the drops. Works perfect and no oil in my driveway.
